Bristol Balloon Fiesta 2019: Hour-by-hour Met Office weather forecast for weekend

Thousands of people will be heading to Ashton Court this weekend for the final two days of the Bristol Balloon Fiesta.

A mass ascent kicked off the fiesta in spectacular style on Thursday morning (August 8), with nearly 60 balloons, including special shapes, set off from Ashton Court  floating beautifully over Bristol.

However, dismal weather forecast for the weekend threatens to disrupt the rest of the event.

Follow our balloon fiesta live blog for the latest news, photos and updates.

Organisers have already been forced to cancel both of Friday's mass ascents due to the Met Office weather warning in place.
