Spring has arrived promptly for the Easter weekend - it's time to dust off those barbeques and prepare your Easter egg hunts.
The warmer temperatures look here to stay in Bristol for the time being, but it might not stick around the whole of the bank holiday. The weather increasingly became warmer throughout the week with temperatures having peaked at 19C on Good Friday.
On Easter Saturday, the day will start off with clear skies but it may become more overcast throughout the day, according to the Met Office. Temperatures are expected to reach 20°C in the early afternoon, however, and sunny spells may return in the evening before the sun sets at 8.08pm.
