Forecasters say Sheffield families hoping for a fun-filled display on fireworks night this Saturday might be in for a let down.

Early weather reports ahead of Bonfire Night this weekend (November 5) suggest South Yorkshire is in for a washout, with heavy rain arriving from 3pm and lasting into the early evening.

The Met Office and BBC Weather both predict heavy rain up until 5pm, with a chance it will clear up in time for firework displays after 6pm.
