Met Office UK weather forecast - cold weather to hit Bristol this week

Bristol is set to be hit by bitterly cold weather and forecasts predict the temperature could drop low to freezing by the end of November.

The weather this week looks to be good - with temperatures set to stay between 10-14C during the day, before slightly dipping at night.

Reports emerged today of a “freeze wave” coming to the UK, that could see parts of the UK endure temperatures of -8C.

Despite the cold weather, Bristol is unlikely to see snow before December but as the weather threatens freezing levels, the rain could cause as much disruption.
