Brisbane Ashes Weather Forecast – What You Need to Know
The weather has been a huge factor in the first Test of the Ashes series in Brisbane. The rain and poor light conditions caused the opening day of the match to be abandoned. This means Australia’s innings will be delayed until tomorrow. The weather forecast calls for more rain on days two and three, but the rest of the Ashes Test is expected to be dry. Here’s what you need to know about Brisbane’s forecasts for the first Test of the series.
Brisbane’s weather has been unpredictable in recent days, making preparations for the first Ashes Test difficult. Because of this, England had very limited practice opportunities. The rain will also affect the second Ashes test, which is scheduled to start on Saturday. If the first Test is rained out, it will mean limited training for both teams. Hopefully, the rain will clear up by then. But until then, we’ll be stuck with gloomy forecasts.
The Ashes Test series is due to begin in Brisbane on December 8, but the first Test is at risk of being rained out. The unseasonal La Nina weather pattern has hindered the preparations, and the team’s first warm-up game has already been affected by heavy rain. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the city was hit by storms, forcing England to play only 29 overs.
Rain is expected to make things difficult during the first three days of the Ashes in Brisbane, but the good news is that there’s still hope for a dry and cool summer. Day four should be the most ideal day for the first Ashes Test, with temperatures around 32 degrees. The weather conditions are crucial, as tense weather can affect bowling and batting. The Australians’ recent history of winning the Ashes in Brisbane is not particularly encouraging. Moreover, England haven’t won the series in the city for 35 years.
The first Test is slated to start on Wednesday, with a 70% chance of rain on Wednesday and Thursday. In fact, rain is forecast to end the first day of the match, allowing enough play to generate a result. The second and final days are also expected to see rain. In fact, it is expected to be rainy, with a chance of heavy rain. This is a positive thing, as it ensures plenty of playing time for both sides.
The Gabba is expecting a maximum temperature of 22degC on Thursday, with a maximum of 25degC expected on Friday. The lowest minimum temperature, however, will be 10degC on Monday 5th. The rest of the week will be dry, though Friday 02nd and Saturday 03rd are likely to receive a significant amount of rain. The highest rainfall is expected on Saturday, with 9.0mm falling over the course of the day.
The weather is also a significant factor in the first Ashes Test. As the first Test of the series is in Brisbane, Australia will be looking to retain the urn for a second time. After a 2-2 draw in England in 2017, Australia will be keen to regain the urn. Meanwhile, England will look to change their fortunes. Captain Joe Root will lead the side and will be bolstered by Ben Stokes.
