The Notting Hill Carnival in 2014 was impacted by heavy rain, with processions delayed and more than 6000 officers patrolling over two days to facilitate public safety. The celebration of Caribbean culture and music went on despite the weather, with the reporter estimating that over a million people would still take to the streets by the end of the day to enjoy the festivities. The police advice was for revelers to secure valuables, stay together in groups, and remain vigilant while still having a good time at the Carnival.
