Bristol is set to be hotter than Turkey over the bank holiday weekend, the Met Office predicts. After warm temperatures and clear skies for the past couple of weeks, the forecaster expects more hot weather to continue the weekend, with the mercury peaking on Saturday, May 27, over the weekend.
Recent waves of high pressure will continue over the weekend, bringing yet more warmth and sun. Temperatures are expected to stay in the high teens and low 20s into early next week, reaching even higher than holiday hot spot Turkey on Saturday and Sunday.
The Met Office forecasts today (May 26) and Saturday to see the best of the weather in Bristol, predicting sunshine and clear skies for most. Sunday and Monday, though still dry and warm, are expected to be cloudier before the sun returns in time for work on Tuesday.
