 Thursday, September 1, 2022 

There may be 89 hours of continuous rainfall in Bristol next week, as per the forecast by a reputed news agency.

This includes up to ten hours of continuous thunderstorms across the city on Monday, September 5 as well.

According to the forecast, rainfall may start from 3AM September 4 and last until 7PM September 7.

However, it doesn’t stop there with further rainfall forecast for Thursday, September 8 and Friday, September 9.

During the deluge are 16 hours of thunderstorms. Ten of them are predicted across the entirety of Monday, September 5 – the day most children return to school properly.

Temperatures are still to remain fairly mild and range from highs of 23 degrees to 19 degrees across the week of much-needed rainfall. It coincides with two Atlantic storm systems that look set to bring heavy rain and thundery weather.

The Met Office South West England forecast for this week says that the weather in our region will be mostly dry and sunny, with things turning “wetter and windier” into the weekend, particularly on Saturday.

Then, the beginning of September will see ‘thick cloud and heavy or thundery periods of rain or showers to many places’.

The forecast comes just one day after a drought was officially announced by the Environment Agency across the entirety of the South West of England. It follows five consecutive months of below-average rainfall.
