This was taken 15:11 or nine minutes after sunset. The temperature will only go below freezing on Thursday. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day will be rainy.

This sort of weather is within normal variation. White Christmas is not guaranteed in the south of the country. The probability of white Christmas is 80-90% in this region. It's only 60-80% in the southwestern coastal areas.
