Rain stayed away from the 2025 British Open in the third round. Here's a look at the latest weather forecast at Royal Portrush.

The first day of the 2025 Open Championship is expected to be rainy, with periods of heavy rain that could accumulate up to a quarter of an inch. The high temperature is expected to be around 69 degrees, with a low of 57 degrees, and winds will range from 10 to 20 miles per hour, according to The Weather Channel.

Tuesday’s forecast for Royal Portrush will likely serve as a preview for the rest of the championship rounds – outbreaks of rain amid some sunny spells.

The biggest threat to a delay at The Open is lightning and heavy wind, and there aren't too many threats of that in the forecast. AccuWeather calls for an 80% chance of rain throughout the third round, mostly in the afternoon and evening. The winds shouldn't be too bad either, at least as far as British Opens go.
