Fireworks: How to keep your dog relaxed on bonfire night<\/h3>\n

Annual Bonfire Night plans face being axed this year as Storm Ciaran’s aftermath is set to bring a wet and blustery weekend ahead.<\/p>\n

Forecasters had initially been monitoring this weekend’s unsettled band of weather through fear it could result in the next named Storm Debi rearing its head.<\/p>\n

It would mean the UK has battled three storms in three weeks, the two latter just 24 hours apart. But despite no current indication of a new named storm coming, the mercury is not set to play ball this year.<\/p>\n

Organisers of many outdoor firework events have already decided to cancel or postpone due to already water-logged fields and grounds.<\/p>\n

The Met Office has confirmed it is not ruling out anymore weather warnings in the coming days.<\/p>\n

But longer-range forecasts make for hard planning – as a mixed-bag of wet and windy conditions are expected to continue into the middle of November.<\/p>\n

Met Office spokesman Graham Madge told Express.co.uk: “After Storm Ciaran, there\u2019s a further low pressure system reaching the UK in the weekend which will bring further wet weather.<\/p>\n

“At the current range, there\u2019s not really much else I can say on it other than southern areas likely to have a wet weekend, and warning responses will be considered as the forecast develops further.”<\/p>\n

Weather maps currently show a brief period of calm on Friday night before already flood-hit areas gear up to contend with more torrential downpours.<\/p>\n

By 9am on Saturday the southern coast of England, along with large swathes of Wales will see more heavy rain – which will eventually centre more on the south east as the day goes on.<\/p>\n

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Brent Walker, added: \u201cOnce Storm Ciar\u00e1n has passed, the weather over the weekend continues to look unsettled for many with more showers and rain at times.<\/p>\n

“Warnings will continue to be updated over the coming days, so it is important to stay up to date with the Met Office forecast in your area.”<\/p>\n

Some smaller scale firework events have announced cancellation, but bigger events, such as the big display at Leeds Castle in Kent is holding out, urging people to “dress for the Great British weather.”<\/p>\n

Beamish Hall, however, a large display which usually attracts crowds in County Durham has decided to call off this year’s display.<\/p>\n

Organisers said they had “no choice” and that the decision “had not been taken lightly” as they confirmed ticket-holders would receive a refund.<\/p>\n
