Frequently asked questions

When was the last white Christmas in Pembroke Dock?
The most recent modelled Christmas snow signal for Pembroke Dock was 1995, in our 1991–2024 reconstruction. This covers falling snow on 24 or 25 December; it is not a verified observation of snowfall on Christmas Day.
Was there snow on the ground near Pembroke Dock on Christmas Day?
Our Aberporth station archive, about 56 km away, contains no positive Christmas Day snow-depth observations among 10 recorded Christmases (1991–2000). Missing years are unknown, and the station does not represent every part of Pembroke Dock.
How many white Christmases has Pembroke Dock had?
Our reconstruction flags 1 of 34 Christmases in 1991–2024 for possible falling snow on 24 or 25 December. This modelled count is different from the calibrated long-range probability of 2%, and is not a tally of officially verified white Christmases.
Why does the snow history end in 2024?
That is the end of the currently processed HadUK-Grid model archive. Later years are not assumed snow-free. Nearby station observations have a separate coverage period and may extend further.
