The Masters Weather Forecast 2024
The 2024 Masters is taking place this week and the weather can play a part during the tournament. Wind in particular can have a huge impact on the tournament, especially around Amen Corner, where the notorious gusts from random directions can lead to high scores and meltdowns. Sun and heat all week have led to firm conditions before, and rain softens the course up which can lead to lower scores if past tournaments are anything to go by. But what is the forecast for the 2024 event? Let's take a look.
Memories involved with The Masters often revolve around the lush green fairways being bathed in sunlight. Last year's tournament, however, saw plenty of inclement conditions, with play suspended during the second round after a tree fell by the 16th green and again in the third round due to rain.
Early weather reports for the week suggest we could be in for some rain again but, thankfully, it looks less severe than last year's tournament.
At present, the highest chance of rain looks to be on Thursday during the day, with winds reaching up to 12mph. It's a similar forecast for Friday, although the possibility of showers is somewhat diminished.
On the weekend, however, the forecast looks more positive. Winds are expected to be down, with the forecast suggesting mostly sunny conditions and a far lower chance of rain.
The weather forecast around Augusta National has often been subject to last-minute change, with conditions frequently improving despite a negative forecast. We will wait to see if this happens once again and we will keep this page updated!
In addition, For fans lucky enough to be at the course early in the week on Monday, there will briefly be a solar eclipse taking place over Augusta for the first time during the Masters since 1940.
