If you're planning anything outdoors in Bristol, the city's position on the Severn Estuary shapes almost everything — milder than most of England thanks to its southwest position, but with Atlantic systems funnelled straight up the channel. October and November are the wettest months here rather than the depths of winter, and snow is genuinely rare. Summers reach the high teens reliably and the city gets more sunshine hours than most of the UK.
