Is the sun going to 'shine' or will we be holding back the flood as Take That take the stage?
Your hour by hour Met Office forecast for Sunderland as Take That bring their Circus tour to the Stadium of Light
With iconic 90s boy band Take That set to return to Sunderland for the first time in over a decade and with around 50,000 fans set to descend upon the Stadium of Light, concert goers will no doubt be hoping the good old British weather will play ball.
When Bruce Springsteen played at the Stadium of Light back in June 2024, revellers had to brave heavy rainfall and damp conditions.
So when Gary, Mark and Howard take to the stage on Tuesday (June 9) will the sun be about to ‘Shine’ or will it be case of ‘holding back the flood’?
Whilst the turnstiles at the Stadium of Light are set to open at around 5pm, many fans will be arriving early to enjoy a day out in the city.
The current Met Office forecast for Sunderland suggests mixed weather, with sunny spells, but also the chance of light rain showers.
Sunny spells are forecast throughout the day with the chance of light rain showers increasing throughout the morning from 40% to 50% at 9am and 10am to 60% to 70% probability of rain between 11am and 2pm.
The chance of light rain showers is then set to reduce to 50% at 4pm, 40% between 4pm and 7pm, and 30% at 8pm and 9pm. The chance of rain then falls to 20%.
Sunny spells are forecast throughout the afternoon and evening with temperatures rising to 17 degrees Celsius in a moderate south westerly breeze. The temperature is forecast to be around 14 degrees Celsius at the time Take That arrive on stage.
This is the current Met Office forecast at the time of writing and is obviously subject to change.
