MORRISONS is introducing weekly localised barbecue forecasts in store to help customers plan their summer shopping.

From Friday, weekend weather forecasts will be placed at the front of the Barrow store each Thursday for the duration of the summer holidays.

To get the forecasts as accurate as possible, Morrisons is working with MetraWeather, a global leader in providing weather forecasting.

Peter Rowbotham, store manager at Morrisons Barrow, said: "We can't change the weather but we hope that by giving our customers up-to-date local barbecue forecasts we will help them plan their shopping and make the most of our fresh British food this summer."

The store will keep customers updated on the likelihood of barbecue weather until September 1.
