Open Championship 2025 weather update: Forecast for Round 1
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.

Liverpool's next signing is starting to unveil
Liverpool's next signing is starting to unveil and it's not Alexander Isak. Of course the Swede is still a priority target for the Reds. But his saga could drag on for a while. This doesn't mean that Liverpool won't sign him, merely that given it's a deal of huge magnitude, it's going to take a long time to iron out the details. LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now But in the meantime, there is another priority area where Richard Hughes will want to add more depth to Arne Slot's squad. With Joe Gomez travelling back home from pre-season due to an injury, it has exposed a great need at centre-back for the Reds. Liverpool have already lost Jarell Quansah this summer, and they now have just two senior centre-back on tour in pre-season in Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk. This has seen Slot play Luca Stephenson, Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas at centre-back. It's becoming very apparent after the four goals conceded against AC Milan that this situation is not tenable going into the season. Liverpool need more depth in the centre-back positions, especially considering Konate and Gomez are both injury prone. This is therefore the obvious next transfer Hughes is going to sort out. And while the first name everyone will gravitate to is Marc Guehi, he might not be the clear choice. In fact, Liverpool may already be targeting someone else in the position, who could be an even better fit.

Where is the Lionesses' trophy parade and will there be a bank holiday?
The Euro 2025 winners will be back in England on Monday, ahead of their celebratory parade on Tuesday. The Lionesses are set for their triumphant return to the UK after their nail-biting victory over Spain in the Euros 2025 final. Chloe Kelly's final penalty on Sunday evening secured the England team's back-to-back European titles, bringing an end to a difficult tournament for the squad, which saw them playing in extra time three times in a row. After needing to recover from an opening loss to France just to make it out of the group stage, and then play 120 minutes against both Sweden and Italy to reach the final, England again came from behind on the night and went the distance as Alessia Russo cancelled out Mariona Caldentey's opener. After seeing goalkeeper Hannah Hampton make two key saves before Kelly's winning spot-kick, manager Sarina Wiegman called it 'the most chaotic and ridiculous tournament we have played' as the never-say-die attitude of her players again shone through. But most people will now forget the arduous journey the England team took to reach the final, with all that matters now being that they won and how they are going to celebrate. When will the Lionesses celebrate their victory? The Lionesses will return to England on Monday and will begin their celebrations with a reception at Downing Street. They will be hosted by deputy prime minister Angela Rayner and sports minister Stephanie Peacock. Players, coaches and Football Association representatives are to attend the Downing Street reception, Number 10 said. Rayner said it will be 'a privilege to celebrate' with the team, with Peacock adding that the government is 'committed to playing our part to ensure this success translates into lasting change.' The Lionesses are then set for a homecoming open-top bus parade celebration in central London on Tuesday. Fans will be invited to celebrate and show their support for Wiegman and the team as the open-top parade begins at 12.10 along The Mall. It will culminate with a staged ceremony at the Queen Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace starting at 12.30pm. It will be broadcast live on the BBC, ITV and Sky between 12pm and 1pm, as well as extensive social media coverage. There will be performances by the Band of His Majesty's Royal Marines Portsmouth and the Central Band of the Royal Air Force. Will there be a bank holiday? There has been no word on a bank holiday to celebrate the England team's victory yet, despite calls from members of the public. Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey said an additional day off would be a great way of honouring the "stunning achievement." But when asked about it on Monday morning, business secretary Jonathan Reynolds said he couldn't commit to one. Speaking to BBC Breakfast he said: "So there should certainly be a celebration. I can't, I'm afraid, promise a bank holiday, but there will be a reception in Downing Street today. I believe the victory parade is scheduled for tomorrow." There was no bank holiday following their victory in the 2022 tournament, nor was there one when the men's team won the 1966 World Cup.
