Avonmouth (Bristol) weather

Headline:

Increasingly warm into the weekend.

Today:

Mist and patchy fog in the southwest will soon burn away after dawn as temperatures rise. Plenty of sunshine thereafter with widely clear skies and light winds. Feeling very warm or even hot in a few spots. Maximum temperature 29 °C.

Tonight:

Plenty of late sunshine for all, with widely clear skies overnight, allowing areas of mist and patchy fog to develop across the Moors overnight. Warm, feeling muggy for all. Minimum temperature 16 °C.

Friday:

Widely dry and fine with plenty of strong sunshine, though some cloud bubbling up through the day in the south. Very warm or hot, with light winds. Maximum temperature 30 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Remaining dry and settled beneath high pressure this weekend. Plenty of strong, hot sunshine by day, with some humid, rather muggy nights. Cooler, cloudier, and breezier from Monday.

The heatwave from the weekend will be gradually eroded from the west early next week as a cold front arrives from the Atlantic. This will bring the chance of some heavy rain or showers, perhaps thundery, especially in northern and western areas. Towards and beyond midweek, a rather changeable pattern is anticipated with some rain or showers possible at times, which could be heavy and thundery, and particularly focussed in western and northwestern areas. Longer drier spells are most likely towards the south and east, although even here some showers may be possible at times. Temperatures are likely to remain above average, especially in the south and east where further spells of very warm or hot weather remain possible.

A continuation of the broad themes from earlier in the month at first, with high pressure probably dominating the south and lower pressure more favoured to affect the north and northwest. Temperatures are likely to end up above average overall with a continued, and perhaps higher than normal, chance of occasional hot spells or heatwaves, especially further to the southeast. However, around the turn of the month, there is a signal for perhaps more widely unsettled weather to develop, though the details of this remain rather uncertain.
