BBC Weather uses the meteorological calendar, where winter always begins on 1 December and ends on the last day of February.
Meteorologists use three-month periods to define the seasons. This makes year-on-year comparisons easier. Winter is therefore defined in the northern hemisphere as the three coldest months - December, January, and February.
