British Open weather

The British Open, the third of golf's major championships this year, starts on Thursday and continues through Sunday. No matter what course is played, the weather can be a major factor with hour to hour changes. In many years the winds are blowing at a steady 20 to 30 mph. This year, the weather looks much quieter.

This year The Open will be played at the Muirfield Golf Club in Scotland.

Here is the latest forecast:

Thursday:
Mostly sunny with winds of 10 mph or less. High in the mid 70's.

Friday:
Cloudy periods with a chance for rain in the morning. Winds under 10 mph.  High in the upper 60's to near 70

Saturday:
Fog and drizzle through mid-day. Chance for afternoon showers. Winds 10-20 mph. High in the mid to upper 60's.

No Sunday forecast out yet from the Met Office. (They only do a 5 day)
