The Masters 2026 Weather Forecast: Dry, Warm Conditions Expected At Augusta National

The most important date in the golfing calendar is upon us, with The Masters commencing this week at Augusta National.

All eyes will be on the famous golf course from Thursday onwards as round one begins, while plenty of top golfers will be strutting their stuff during the practice rounds earlier in the week.

Can Rory McIlroy defend his title after his monumental win last year? Or will we see a Green Jacket handed to a new contender come Sunday evening?

After the Valero Texas Open was interrupted by bad weather this past weekend, we're all hoping for better conditions over the next few days.

So, here's a look at the weather forecast around Augusta, Georgia this week.

Weather Forecast For The Masters

Obviously, the weather is always unpredictable, and we're sure conditions will change over the course of the next few days, but according to the PGA Tour website, things are looking promising right now.

The report there states: "Cooler and drier air will settle in for much of the upcoming week, bringing morning lows in the upper 40s to low 50s and afternoon highs in the upper 60s to mid-70s.

"Afternoon relative humidity values will be around 25%-40% Monday through Wednesday making for very dry conditions. Moderating temperatures are forecast for late week into next weekend with dry weather persisting."

In short, it'll be dry in Georgia this week, which is the most important thing. It'll also be relatively warm, which is always a nice bonus, though there will be a slight breeze.

There isn't too much wind to worry about, either. On the Thursday, we may see 20mph gusts, but those winds will drop to 12mph on the Friday.
