The final preparations were underway for the event tomorrow (Saturday) evening but Wolverhampton Council chiefs have decided to postpone the fun until Tuesday for public safety.
A Wolverhampton Council spokesman said: "With Storm Bert due to hit the city early tomorrow morning, we have been closely monitoring the weather forecast which includes torrential rain and gale force winds throughout tomorrow.
"With this in mind, we have taken the decision to postpone the Tettenhall Christmas lights switch-on until Tuesday, November 26 (between 4.30pm to 6.30pm) as public safety must be our top priority."
"We hope to see you all on Tuesday evening to light up Tettenhall for Christmas."
Bilston Christmas lights will still be switched on tonight (Friday) and Bantock Christmas lights switch-on on Sunday will go ahead as planned.
