Bristolians and those from the South West of England will be crossing their fingers for good weather ready for when they attend any Bonfire Night firework displays and events this weekend. In order to truly enjoy the fireworks, you must be wearing appropriate clothing and it is best if skies are as clear as possible.
This totally hinges on the weather conditions, which have not been kind to Bristolians during past celebrations. Last year’s celebrations were dampened by wet weather and chilly temperatures as hundreds stood out in the freezing cold to take in the displays.
