A number of train operators were also expecting crew shortages due to sickness, which could lead to the cancellation of trains, National Rail said.

Sunday morning saw a mild start to Christmas Eve, with the Met Office later declaring it the warmest 24 December since 1997.

There had been speculation it could be the warmest day-before-Christmas ever. Although temperatures near Heathrow in west London reached 15.3C, the threshold was not quite met.

The warmest 24 December on record was in 1931, when 15.5C was recorded in Aberdeen and Banff in Scotland.

Despite unseasonably mild conditions, the unsettled weather could still disrupt any remaining pre-Christmas travel plans.
