The Met Office has forecast a wet and wild week in Bristol as residents should expect frequent showers of rainfall and brief moments of thunder and hail.

The day will be full of brief sunny spells and blustery showers of rainfall.

Some will be heavy as hail and thunder are expected to be more frequent in the west, but becoming more widespread heading into the afternoon.

Winds will be fairly strong, especially in areas near the coast.

Evening showers will be present later in the day and will retreat to windward coasts, with the rest of the city remaining largely clear.

Temperatures will plummet and become chillier and touches of frost will appear in more sheltered locations.

Minimum temperatures of 2℃ and maximums of 13℃.

Another day full of moments of sunshine and patches of rainfall that will be more numerous in coastal areas.

Some will develop more inland throughout the afternoon, with lighter winders and drier conditions.
