Coventry's Light Towers

The three centrally grouped Light Towers of Coventry are major landmarks. This Light Art installation has been designed to help predict the likely weather tomorrow - based on nationally available weather forecasts. Please follow the guidelines on this page. (Periodically the Light Towers perform a short light show unconnected with the weather.)
