In light of these conditions, organizers and meteorologists are urging the public to bring umbrellas and appropriate wet weather clothing to the parade. The MetService emphasized the unpredictable nature of the showers, stating that “this type of weather set-up commonly produces wily showers that are difficult to forecast.”

While the agency does not anticipate a complete washout, the possibility of intermittent rain could impact the festive atmosphere. Families are encouraged to keep an eye on weather updates as they prepare for the event.
