The aerobatics display team had been due to appear at the Southport Air Show at noon but conditions were described as "unsuitable" for close formation display flying.
According to the Liverpool Echo, the news was broken to guests via a PA system with organisers apologising for the "massive disappointment" the cancellation will cause. It is understood the Red Arrows will still preform a fly-by later today but will be unable to do the much-anticipated display. The Red Arrows tweeted: "Unfortunately, our display @SouthportAir has been cancelled due to a very wet runway at the operating base of Blackpool Airport and low cloud, unsuitable for close formation display flying."
