Bristol set for 30C weather as heatwave conditions bask over city

It is set to be another warm and dry week in Bristol. The Met Office is predicting temperatures to reach 30C in the city tomorrow (June 13).

The outlook shows temperatures as high as 20C at 9am before it reaches 26C by midday. It will then be warmest between 2pm and 4pm, with the mercury expected to hit 30C.

Moving towards the rest of the week, temperatures are set to cool down again after tomorrow's spike. Current forecasts suggest Bristol will see the mercury rise to around 26C on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Heavy showers are expected to sweep in at around midday before picking up throughout the afternoon. The Met Office has warned that "thunderstorms and torrential downpours" may bring disruption.

The end of the week is also set to be hot, with average temperatures of 26C. Forecasters say that there is also a "very low risk" of rain from Wednesday to Friday (June 16) as high pressure builds.

Today: Another warm, humid day with light winds. Further heavy showers developing in the afternoon with possible thundery downpours. Low cloud around coasts in the far south possibly lingering through the day. Maximum temperature 24 °C.

Tonight: Low cloud and patchy fog across coasts and also developing inland overnight. Still feeling mild and rather muggy. Light winds. Minimum temperature 15 °C.

Tuesday: A murky start for many with low cloud lingering around coasts. Elsewhere, cloud breaking and lifting through the morning, leaving a warm day with the risk of heavy afternoon showers. Maximum temperature 27 °C.
