Hull city centre is set to be illuminated by Navigate, a three-day sound and light event in the city centre.
Navigate is made up of four installations including Oracle, an eight-metre floating lighthouse that predicts the weather using unique and captivating displays.

Linked wirelessly to meteorological sensors, it takes real-time readings of wind speed, humidity, pressure, temperature and rain. Each of these parameters then creates a dynamic weather visualisation played onto the tower using sound, light and lasers.
Once every 15 minutes, the Oracle will contact the Met Office and display a weather omen foretelling predictions for the forthcoming hour with a dynamic audio-visual performance.
