USA Today16-07-2025
The 153rd Open Championship is less than 24 hours from teeing off, and a key question is what weather challenges the world's top golfers will encounter at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Royal Portrush is notorious for its unpredictable weather, featuring frequent rain and strong winds, which can potentially influence who ultimately wins the Claret Jug.
On Wednesday, prior to the first round, participants experienced a mix of clouds and sunshine, with light wind gusts ranging from five to ten mph. The high temperature was 67 degrees, while the low dropped to 57 degrees. The first round is expected to bring less favorable weather, with periods of rain and winds reaching 10 to 20 mph. There is a 90% chance of rain, with potential rainfall totaling up to a quarter of an inch.
Here are the latest weather updates and forecasts for Thursday, the first day of the 2025 Open Championship:

F1 Belgian Grand Prix Under Threat of Rain

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. According to the weather forecast, the Belgium Grand Prix could be a wet race, potentially throwing chaos into an already hectic race weekend. Spa is known for being a track that is prone to rain, especially during the summer, which makes the current climate projections no surprise. On Saturday, there is a 24 percent chance of rain, according to The Weather Channel, with winds in the 5-10 mph range. Temperatures hover around 75 degrees Fahrenheit. No rain should delay either the sprint race or qualifying, but race day is a different story.

Photo byFor Sunday, there is an 82 percent chance of rain, with temperatures ranging from around 65 degrees Fahrenheit. The winds are expected to be similar to those on Saturday. It is worth noting that Saturday night is expected to have rainfall, which means the track will be wet hours before any racing takes place. The teams and drivers will face tough decisions about whether to use intermediate or wet tires for the start of the race. McLaren driver Lando Norris is already preparing for "tough decisions" that he will need to make with the team. "It could be tricky now because of the rain, so I think you might have to make some more difficult decisions in terms of tyres and things like that," Norris said. "There's always a lot more points on Sunday, so I think most of the focus is always there, but if you're one position higher or lower in the Sprint race, it's not the end of the world. "You'll always take a bit less risk there, but Sunday is the main day." When asked about his record during wet conditions, Norris offered some optimism heading into the race weekend. "I'm British, and maybe that helps. I've had very good races this year in the wet, that's true," Norris added "But all the qualifyings have been in the dry when it's been that scenario, so it's tough. There isn't an easy answer. "I enjoy these conditions still. Maybe never the most fun because it can be quite scary at times, but Spa in the wet is normal, so I'm ready to go." Belgium Grand Prix Sprint Qualifying Results
