Update: Your hour by hour weather forecast for Sunderland ahead of Take That concert at the Stadium of Light
Will the sun ‘shine’ or will we be ‘holding back the flood’?
With Gary, Mark and Howard set to take to the stage this evening (June 9) at the Stadium of Light, the excitement is building, but will the sun come out and ‘shine’ or will we be holding back the flood?
At the moment, the Met Office weather forecast for Sunderland suggests it may be a bit of both, with sunshine and light showers forecast throughout the duration of the day.
If you’re planning on arriving in Sunderland early, the chance of light showers is around 60% to 70% until around midday, when the probability increases to around 90% to 95% throughout the rest of the afternoon.
Whilst the showers are expected to be light and interspersed with sunny spells, heavy showers are currently forecast for 2pm before returning to lighter rain for the rest of the afternoon.
Whilst the chance of showers remains throughout the evening and into the night, the probability of light rain decreases, with an 80% chance at 6pm, falling to a 70% chance at 8pm and 9pm. This falls to 50% at 10pm before conditions dry-up for the rest of the night.
Sunny spells between the showers are forecast throughout the day with temperatures rising to a cool 16 degrees Celsius, falling to around 12 degrees Celsius when Take That are expected to arrive on stage.
This is the Met Office forecast for Sunderland at the time of writing and is obviously subject to change.
