A storm system passing through the British Isles will bring rain and wind to St. Andrews Friday and Saturday. Rain will be heavy at times and the U.K. Met Office has issued a weather advisory for St. Andrews due to the heavy rain. The rain could cause some disruptions across the region, and forced almost a four hour delay in play at the start of the second round.
2015 British Open weather forecast: Advisories issued for heavy rain and wind at St. Andrews
Local weather offices in the U.K. have issued advisories due to heavy rain. But it won’t just be the rain the golfers have to deal with Friday and Saturday at St. Andrews.
Winds will also be very strong Friday and Saturday, gusting to near 40 and in some places 50 mph. If the golfers wanted to experience all that St. Andrews could throw at them, they are getting it this weekend.
FRIDAY - SECOND ROUND WEATHER FORECAST
A strong storm system passes to the west and north of the British Isles and will spread steady to heavy rain showers and strong winds, especially Friday afternoon. This will be more of a problem for the golfers going out later in the day. Winds will be out of the west between 15 to 25 mph and gusts could be as highs as 35 to 45 mph. Rain showers will be steady through the day. High 64
