After a spectacular, action-packed Day 1 in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final 2025, there is a chance of thunderstorms and precipitation, will be 55% chance during the match.
 
The weather in London changed rapidly, and the English summer’s unprecedented weather could impediment during the second day of the final of WTC.
 
South Africa is already on the back foot with their batting failure, and if the play halts on the second day due to weather, then the Proteas batters will find it difficult to settle due to the delay.

Weather forecast at Lord’s on Day 2

The conditions will be pleasant to start the play of the day on time as the temperature will be around 25 degrees celcuis to 27 degrees Celsius on day 2 of the Test match. 
 
The forecast will change when the game progresses, and the second session might be halted due to unexpected showers; clouds will be dense at that time, around 68%. The wind speed will also increase in the afternoon session, as the speed can reach up to 43km/h.
 
There is less chance of rainfall as the estimated rainfall is expected to be 0.5 mm. The first and last sessions of Day 2 will get much more delightful conditions to play.
