INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT 'WHITE CHRISTMAS' IN THE WORLD
The study concludes that 127 countries have a probability of 0%, according to the history of winter snowfall compiled by World Weather Online (That would mean that 65% of the world will not enjoy a white Christmas).
But what is considered a White Christmas? The UK National Weather Service (Met Office) defines it as follows: "A snowflake that we observe falling in the 24 hours of December 25 somewhere in the UK." So if we take the definition at face value, there is still hope!
There is hope for Monaco, Italy, Albania and even the Vatican (with a 0.4% chance). And there is hope, of course, for the Spanish highlands. In fact, in nearby Andorra, they boast a 27.6% chance. Does he make a getaway?
AND WITHIN SPAIN?
The Voucher Cloud study has been carried out with data from World Weather Online . To calculate this probability of snow in each country, the data of nine winters have been taken, nine months of December in each capital of each country (from 2009 to 2017) .
Thus, they calculate the national average and a global approximation is made, but we have to take into account the meteorological differences within each country.
For this reason, we turn to the 2018 study by ** Holidu ** that delves into the snowy destinations of Europe and Spain, also with data from World Weather Online. These data correspond to an average of snowfall in the winter season (from December to March) not specifically Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
In the table, Burgos is positioned as the province with the most snow (7.5 days of snow on average, taking into account winter data -from December to March- and between the years 2009 to 2017 ) . The rest of the ranking is as follows:
