The weather forecast for Sunday, June 20, in Southampton appears to be conducive for an early start of the day (3PM IST) but overcast weather will be the norm throughout the day with light showers expected in the day.
After an entire day of play being washed out while another marred with frequent bad light interruptions, the World Test Championship final Day 3 is expecting little respite with the condition likely to remain similar on Sunday.
The weather forecast for Sunday, June 20, in Southampton appears to be conducive for an early start of the day (3PM IST) but overcast weather will be the norm throughout the day with light showers expected in the day.
Indian cricketer-turn commentator Dinesh Karthik has told the weather condition of the city through social media. He shared the photo of the ground through social media, on which he wrote, "It is 3.5 hours before the game starts, so don't worry too much. It's cloudy at the moment but the good thing is that there is no rain ATM. This is the new weatherman in town reporting live from Southampton."
Significantly, he wrote in the caption of this photo, "Your lovely weather man Mr DK."
While weather forecast reads a temperature of 19 degree celsius in the morning and is expected to dip as low as 12 degrees as the day progresses with a cloud cover of 94 per cent throughout the day. No rain is expected in the opening session but rain may play spoilsport in the final session for the day while officials aim to get bowled a quota of 98 overs in the day if no interruption comes in play.
Wind speed on the day is expected to be fairly low at 3.7km/hr, allowing some favour to Indian batsmen from the swing but overcast weather will still make things tricky.
