It will be a cold and wet Wednesday for most of Britain today, with a band of heavy rain trundling slowly across the country.
The forecast for Wednesday, March 4, is one of rain moving north-east across much of England and Wales, with snow for a time over the hills in the north.
Bristol is far enough south and west to avoid the snow - but it will be wet and chilly for most of the day.
The detailed Met Office forecast for Bristol has a dry start to the day, with temperatures struggling to get up above just 5C as the morning progresses.
It will be an overcast morning, with thickening, darkening cloud and by 10am, the first few drops of rain will begin.
