Bonfire Night 2022: Met Office weather forecast for Birmingham fireworks displays and events

Bonfire Night is almost here, and with many of us hoping to see some bonfires and fireworks displays this weekend we’re all wishing for some dryer weather in Birmingham. As with last week’s Halloween celebrations, Bonfire Night takes place mostly outdoors and few things can ruin a bonfire and fireworks displays like clouds and rain.

Luckily, the Met Office forecast shows a mostly dry weekend ahead, with some chances of rain on Saturday afternoon. There is however risk for some rather gusty weather with winds up to 27 mph.

For those celebrating Bonfire Night on Friday, it is looking to be quite a clear day with some clouds gathering later on in the evening. A jacket is however advised as temperatures are looking to drop rather low in the evening to 6 °C.

Sunday is one again looking to be dryer, but with some wind still sticking around. Some sunny spells in the morning but a mostly cloudy day.
