The National Grid has reported power cuts in Bristol and Somerset, including Weston-super-Mare.

In Somerset, Bishops Lydeard AFC said the cup game against Cully Rangers had been rearranged for 3 December. It explained heavy rain on an "already soaked pitch" was the cause.

In Cheltenham, some of the singers and entertainment in the town centre will perform inside Cav House, John Lewis, the Pump Rooms and the Wilson.

In Wiltshire, the well-known Longleat estate has closed to visitors for the day.

There have been a few changes to events in Swindon. The Christmas lights switch-on for the town centre has been postponed and will take place on 30 November. The Christmas market will be on, but will be smaller, with only the chalets operating.

The switch-on for the Old Town area in Swindon have been moved to 1 December.

The AA asked motorists to reduce their speed and leave plenty of space behind other vehicles if they need to travel.
