Rain has always been an uninvited guest at the Open! Be it in 2008, when no player could finish the tournament under par. Or when half the weekend belonged to Brian Harman last year, while the other half was taken over by prolonged rainfall, the weather always ends up becoming the villain. Despite being held during the peak of the British summer, The Open can never seem to escape the clutches of unpredictable weather.

With the 152nd Open Championship scheduled from July 18 to July 21 at the Royal Troon, will the weather gods be kind this year? Well, the chances are slimmer for the players to get the best of the Aryshire weather!

Royal Troon has predictions of heavy rain throughout the weekend

The weather forecast for this year’s Open Championship has it all. It has predictions of cloudy, dry weather but also states that there will be possible showers on three of the four days at Royal Troon. On Thursday, the forecast says, “Cloudy with outbreaks of rain expected from early morning, possibly becoming heavy at times.”

There are chances that it might not all clear out until Friday morning. With a temperature as high as 64 degrees and as low as 54 degrees, there are 50% chances of rain on the first day. Adding to that, the winds will be blowing in from the south with a speed of 20–25 mph.

If you are planning to visit the venue on Friday, make sure that you tag your umbrella along because the second day is supposed to be the worst of all. There will be considerable cloudiness with occasional rain showers. The temperature will go as high as 62 degrees and as low as 55 degrees. There are 60% chances of rain, with winds blowing from SSW at 10-15 mph.

Saturday and Sunday too have a 60% chance of rain, with the temperature going as low as 53 degrees on both days. There are possibilities of delays in between the rounds if the weather persists as predicted.

If you have already booked your tickets for the final Major on the men’s circuit, good luck with the obstacle. If not, you can still enjoy every bit of the action from the comfort of your house.
