Officials are advising that people keep an eye on social media to see if the launch of balloons at 6pm will be going ahead. The reason? The British summer weather. A spokesperson for Telford & Wrekin Council said:"Unfortunately there will be no balloon launch this morning due to weather conditions.Replying to a query on Facebook a council spokesperson advised a member of the public to check social media channels for news of the 6pm balloon launch.
The spokesperson said:"We will keep you updated on socials. It will be dependent on weather conditions." The Met Office app's rainfall radar shows a band of showers crossing Telford on Sunday morning but that this should clear. Winds are forecast to be from a chilly north westerly direction at up to 14mph.
