Weather forecast for WTC Final 2023 at Oval
In the UK, June signals the start of summer, with average daily temperatures ranging from 18 to 21 degrees Celsius. These warmer conditions increase the chances of a dry pitch, which benefits spin bowlers. With recent county matches played on the same surface, there are limited opportunities for fast bowlers to encounter green patches or dampness, unless there is an abrupt shift in weather characterized by cloudiness and gloom.
Nevertheless, the timeframe from June 7th to June 12th seems more favourable compared to other days. The weather forecast indicates that only the first day of the WTC final, June 7th, may be cloudy and gloomy. However, there is no expected precipitation according to the meteorological department. The second and third days will be notably colder, but there is no likelihood of rainfall during these days.
