We’re not going to lie – it's looking a little ominous out there.

According to Metcheck, today and tomorrow will see quite a lot of rain. And probably more rain. Followed by a little bit of rain.

Saturday looks a little better; at the time of writing, it will be about 20 degrees, with only a 15% chance of rain in the afternoon. And Sunday looks to be about the same temperature with even less chance of getting wet.

Of course, these forecasts do seem to change by the hour, so please do keep checking. Fingers crossed we will be able to enjoy some of the many events and activities taking place in and around Watford over the weekend.

Here is a selection of our favourites...

Barmy Army Military Weekend

Langleybury Children's Farm is the setting for this weekend extravaganza! Held in association with the North London Barmy Army, military vehicles from the First World War all the way through to modern day will be showcased.

There will also be farm animals, craft stalls, a bouncy castle and for the adults, a fully licensed bar and BBQ.
