The 20th edition of the Solheim Cup is underway at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands as Europe hosts the US in the biennial match.

Unlike the last time the Solheim Cup came to Europe, when it was held at Finca Cortesin in Spain, the sun never appeared during Friday's play.

Instead, umbrellas rather than sun hats were the order of the day, with rain falling as the four matches progressed.

That continued the unsettled, sometimes wet conditions that accompanied the practice rounds leading up to day one.

Here's how Saturday and Sunday are shaping up.

Weather Forecast For The Solheim Cup

Saturday September 12th

Day two in the Netherlands is underway - and it's good news on the weather front: scattered cloud and some blue skies.

The foursomes and fourball sessions on day two should coincide with the best weather of the match.

The weather should remain largely dry with the chance of an isolated shower.

Much of the wetter weather, mainly light rain and drizzle, is forecast for Saturday night.

Wind gusts aren't expected to exceed 13mph, while temperatures should reach around 73F.

Sunday September 13th

The rain is expected to return for Sunday's singles session, with up to half an inch of rainfall anticipated.

Players will likely bear the brunt of this during the earlier part of the session, and there is an outside chance of a few thunderstorms.

Gusts of wind could reach 20mph, while temperatures are forecast to peak at 68F.
