A Windy Match

Friday 4th February Forecast for Third One Day International - South Africa V England Port Elizabeth, South Africa

Conditions in Port Elizabeth this morning is fairly cloudy. Humidity is around 60% with the temperature already near 22C. There has been some light rain overnight, but this now seems to have cleared. It's fairly breezy with a W wind around 20mph.

For the rest of this morning we are expecting the cloud to be broken. There will be a few bright or sunny spells coming through the cloud, although these are probably never going to be long lived. It should be a dry morning too with temperatures near 24C. It will be staying breezy with a W wind blowing at around 20mph. There is a risk of gusts to 40mph, especially during the first part of the match. Will this fresh wind and relatively dry air aid te drying of the ground?

Little change is expected through the course of this afternoon. Cloud is going to be remaining broken with a few sunny intervals coming through.Winds will be from the SW at around 15 to 20mph. However, the winds should not be as gusty and it is going to be dry.
