*In 1879, ''The Times'' of London disproved the notion that Christmases were getting warmer than they used to be by citing the fact that no meteorological evidence gave way to the notion of a warming winter.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Our Winter |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/33114660/ |access-date=2023-06-17 |website=Newspapers.com |language=en}}</ref> Records show that Christmases have remained pretty cold in London, with an average temperature ranging from 30s to 40s Fahrenheit, and that there have actually be 16 white Christmases since the publication of the article. Although the year 1840 in London held a much colder Christmas than usual (about 18 Fahrenheit), the following years' average lows are pretty regularly met in modern times.<ref>{{Cite web |last=wansteadmeteo |date=2014-11-28 |title=170 years of Christmas Day in London |url=https://wansteadmeteo.com/2014/11/28/170-years-of-christmas-day-in-london/ |access-date=2023-06-17 |website=Wanstead Meteo |language=en}}</ref>
