SCO vs AUS: Edinburgh Weather Forecast

Expect sunshine mixed with some clouds and a comfortable temperature around 14°C. It might feel slightly warmer at 17°C due to the sun.

The good news is there’s minimal risk of heavy rain interrupting the game. There’s only a 15% chance of any precipitation, and thunderstorms are completely out of the picture.

However, it’s worth noting a 26% cloud cover, which could affect sunlight throughout the day. Additionally, a light north-westerly wind is expected, blowing at 7 kmph with gusts up to 22 kmph. These winds might influence player strategies, particularly bowlers.
