What is the weather at the Masters?
On April 9, round one of the 2026 Masters, it is due to be generally fine with plenty of sun. There is due to be a 15 km/h northeasterly wind schedule, and up to 30 km/h gusts.
The other three tournament days look good, with very little rain scheduled. Everyone will have their eyes on the Masters weather forecast as the tournament gets nearer and the luckiest patrons who got their tickets plan their days.
Day two has gusts forecasted up to 17 km/h and a general wind of 9 km/h. But, there is a 0% chance of rain, which will please everyone involved on the ground.
In round three, moving day at the Masters, there is a 1% chance of rain, and as previously stated, there will be a solid temperature of 29 degrees Celsius (84F), which could produce firm and potnetially difficult conditions.
The final round will be incredibly warm and clear, too, at 30 degrees Celsius. There is very little wind forecast to appear, but there could be gusts of up to 32 km/h.
All in all, there seems to be no disastrous or dangerous weather on the horizon, and thankfully no repeat of the Masters weather of 2023. Conditions got so bad that trees came down on the golf course but thankfully, no spectators were hurt and the tournament could continue as planned. That was the year Jon Rahm won the Masters for the first time, beating Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka in second place.

In 2024, Scottie Scheffler won the Masters for the second time in the sunshine. He completed a four-shot victory over Ludvig Aberg on the 18th hole, and raised his arms in the settings we’ve become accustomed to seeing at the Masters- bright with blue skies. The weather was also clear and bright when Rory McIlroy completed the grand slam in 2025.

Augusta is quite a humid area, while wind speed averages out at 13 mph during April.
Sunrise and sunset
The average day in Augusta during April has 13 hours of daylight. Sunrise is around 7 am, while the sun sets at roughly 8 pm.
As sunset isn’t until about 8 pm and as there aren’t typically as many players in the Masters field as a usual PGA Tour field, there is plenty of time in the day for each player to complete their rounds, as long as the conditions don’t delay play like they occasionally have in the past.
