BBC Weather forecasts hours of sleet and plunging temperatures for Bristol

Long-range forecasts from BBC Weather have warned that sleet and possibly snow could fall in Bristol next Wednesday night. The monthly outlook weather forecast said there will be a colder but drier March ahead, with temperatures expected to drop below the seasonal average.

The forecast says: “Sleet and snow showers will be possible at lower elevations, and there is a chance that low pressure will push northwards from the continent bringing more widespread precipitation. How much of that will be wintry is questionable at this stage.”

It added that a similar pattern of colder but drier weather looks likely to persist until the end of March.
