Bristol weather: Met Office forecast for the week ahead - will it snow again and when?

The festive season has been arriving in full flow in Bristol over the last few days as the city has borne the brunt of snowfall, making Bristolians wonder if there will finally be a white Christmas in the South West. The Met Office weather forecast for the week answers that all important question - will it snow again in Bristol this week?

Wintery conditions struck the UK last weekend as snow, ice, and freezing fog has swept the nation and caused disruption to travel. Delayed trains, motorway collisions, and even flight cancellations have taken place as forecasters warn the chilly weather will continue.

The Met Office has already issued Bristol with a number of weather warnings recently, with one for ice and fog currently in place until 11am on Monday morning (December 12). Experts warn temperatures in the city could drop to as low as -15℃ which would make it the lowest temperature in the UK since February 2021.

Met Office chief meteorologist Steve Willington said: "It is staying cold with daytime temperatures remaining only a few degrees above freezing in many places over the coming days and overnight temperatures dropping to -10C or lower in isolated spots. Although below average, these temperatures are not that unusual for this time of year. There is still a risk we could see some freezing fog in places particularly southern England."

What is the weather outlook for Bristol this week and will the city see the return of snow? Here is everything you need to know.
