The problems in Bristol with the burst water main continue.

There's been no recent update from Bristol Water about when services might resume but the firm said it was diverting supplies.

In the meantime, bottled water is being handed out to residents.

The Womad music festival takes place this weekend featuring Ziggy Marley and Macy Gray.

The festival is based at Charlton Park between Cirencester and Chippenham.

There's already some sweltering temperatures nearby with Fairford nudging 32C.

Nearby Staverton and Winchcombe, in Gloucestershire, are 31 and 30.4C respectively.

RNAS Yeovilton in Somerset is 29.8C while Filton near Bristol is 29.1C.

Make sure you keep hydrated if you're at Womad, it's looking like a hot one.

Droppings and a dirty and cluttered kitchen were also discovered during a separate inspection.

Campers are out enjoying the sunshine as the WOMAD Festival kicks off today.

The Wiltshire event runs through until Sunday at Charlton Park and acts such as Ziggy Marley, Macy Gray and Anna Calvi will be performing.

Bristol Water’s Chief Customer Officer, Ben Newby, has issued the following statement:

We would like to thank our customers for their ongoing patience and we hope to restore water to the majority of our customers within the next couple of hours.

“In the meantime, bottled water has been arranged to customers on our priority services register.

"If you, or your neighbour have a medical condition, disability or another reason which would make getting alternative water challenging, please call our customer services team and we will arrange alternative water supplies to be delivered directly to you.

“For safety reasons, we have closed Royate Hill and a diversion route is in place.

"We recommend avoiding the area as this road will likely remain closed for the next few days while we restore the road.

"We will update you the moment we have further information and would like to thank our customers for their community minded approach."

What's been billed as "the world's biggest game of hide and seek" has ended in Weston-super-Mare.

BBC Radio 1 DJs Nick Grimshaw and Greg James have been hiding in a secret location all week, giving listeners cryptic clues to try to find them.

They were finally tracked down in the south tower of Weston-super-Mare's Grand Pier yesterday afternoon by listener Scott, pictured above with the pair.

GWR is warning customers they expect to run a reduced service after midday in anticipation of high temperatures.

Network Rail is predicting track temperatures of more than 50˚C, as the weather forecast suggests temperatures will exceed record-highs.

Heat-related speed restrictions on lines in London Paddington are likely to be needed and GWR is expecting to reduce the number of long-distance services, with longer journey times expected.

Those travelling should check before they do so, and can travel tomorrow with today's ticket without penalty.

Further advice recommends that passengers stay hydrated with free water fountains available at Temple Meads and London Paddington.

Thousands of people have been left without water in Bristol after a major water main burst, on what is predicted to be the hottest day on record in the UK.

Properties in Speedwell, Eastville, Fishponds, Lockleaze, Horfield, St George and Stapleton are affected by the problem on Royate Hill.

Bottled water will be handed out to vulnerable people and bowsers are being sent into the area.

Sharna Smith, from Bristol Water, said it was too early to predict when the main would be repaired. "We are aiming reroute the supply around the damaged area. But our priority is to get water to people," she said.

Latest from Bristol Water who say its possible some customers might see discoloured water.

Bristol Water has dug quite a deep trench to get it repaired.

Bristol Water is working to repair a burst main that has left properties with no supplies on what's forecast to be one of the hottest days of the year.

The Speedwell, Eastville, Fishponds and lower Horfield areas are affected.

Spokesperson Shana Smith has told BBC Radio Bristol that at this stage they are unable to estimate how long it will take to repair the main.

The company says it is looking into alternative water provisions and hoping to reroute the supply in the area.
