What to expect from the weather at Augusta during Masters week
The stage is set. Augusta National is primed, the greens trimmed razor-sharp, and after three days of practice rounds and the ceremonial Par 3 Contest, the course is ready for its greatest performers. Now, the only question left: Will the weather cooperate?
🌤️ Round 1 – Thursday: A Crisp Start
First up, the early wave tees off at 7:25 a.m. The air will be brisk—just 45°F—with a touch of humidity at 63%. But by afternoon, the mercury climbs to a comfortable 74°F, humidity plummets to 30%, and the sky remains mostly clear. Cloud cover lingers below 40%, winds stay light at 6-9 mph, and rain? Not on the radar.
☀️ Round 2 – Friday: A Near-Perfect Day
Tee times begin at 7:40 a.m. as the sun asserts its dominance. The morning starts at a mild 65°F with humidity at 60%, but by late afternoon, it peaks at 80°F with a dry 27% humidity. Clouds? Almost none. Wind? A whisper at 2-5 mph. Friday is shaping up to be a day where the ball will fly, and the scores could follow.
☀️🌡️ Round 3 – Saturday: Heat Builds, Humidity Crashes
The third round doesn’t start until 10:30 a.m., giving players a slightly later rest. The morning is coolest at 51°F with a sticky 93% humidity, but the afternoon turns brutal—86°F with humidity collapsing to 23%. The sun beats down relentlessly under a sky that’s 90%+ clear, and the wind? Barely there. This could be the day the leaderboard shakes up.
🏆 Round 4 – Sunday: The Final Act Under Clear Skies
The tournament closes at 10:30 a.m., and Sunday delivers the warmest, most consistent weather of the week. The morning opens at 56°F with 80% humidity, but by afternoon, it rockets to 87°F while humidity drops to 27%. The sky stays nearly cloud-free (under 8% coverage), and the wind remains light—peaking at just 8 mph later in the day. Conditions are tailor-made for a dramatic finish.
Will the weather hold? The signs point to yes. Augusta National is ready. The players are coming. Now, it’s up to the elements—and the athletes—to make history.
