Looming bad weather has caused the cancellation of an outdoor film show in Hamilton which was due to be held tonight.

The scheduled open-air screenings of the James Bond epic No Time To Die and the Disney film Rava and the Last Dragon were abandoned as the island faces heavy rain.

Both movie showings were part of the Fresh Air Films: Back Outside event promoted by the City of Hamilton.

Tamara Smith, senior events and marketing co-ordinator, said: “While we are disappointed to have to make this decision, after reviewing the forecast for this weekend, we are forced to cancel due to the unpredictability of the weather system that is headed towards the island.”

City officials encouraged people to “mark their calendars” for the next outdoor event, Summer Sunday, which will be held in Victoria Park on July 17.
