Each New Year’s Eve, fireworks light up the London skyline, delighting thousands of revellers. In fact, the annual light show has become so popular that tickets for the official viewing areas – priced at £20 to £50 each for 2025 – sell out months beforehand.

The city will ring the New Year with fireworks, which will be telecast live for people through NBC Chicago's Live New Year's Eve Show called A Very Chicago New Year. The fireworks will be launched at midnight from the bridges at Orleans Street, La Salle Drive, Clark Street, Dearborn Street, State Street, and Columbus Drive.

Much of the country faces heavy rain and strong winds, and even snow in some parts, leading to widespread disruption.
