Manchester’s weather is never one to trust, and just ahead of a crucial fourth Test between India and England, the rain gods are threatening to have a say. So far, the series has been lucky despite overcast skies, we haven’t seen a full day lost to rain. That could change this week at Old Trafford.
IND vs ENG 4th Test weather report
Persistent showers forced India to hold their first training session entirely indoors. As a precautionary measure, Jasprit Bumrah, Shubman Gill, and KL Rahul didn’t opt for nets. With the series at 2-1 in England’s favour and India still searching for their first-ever Test win in Manchester, the stakes are already high. Add unpredictable weather, and the equation only gets more complicated.
Here’s a quick look at the weather forecast for each of the five days in Manchester:
Manchester, Old Trafford Rain Predictions
| Day | Date | Chance of Rain |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Wednesday, July 23 | 65% |
| Day 2 | Thursday, July 24 | 40% |
| Day 3 | Friday, July 25 | 7% |
| Day 4 | Saturday, July 26 | 3% |
| Day 5 | Sunday, July 27 | 55% |
The heaviest threat comes on Day 1, with a 65% chance of rain and temperatures hovering around 17°C. Day 5 could also see showers disrupt the finale, which might prove decisive in a tight contest. Given the unpredictable nature of Manchester weather, be prepared for the unexpected. However, it is most likely that we will lose some overs in the game, especially on Day 1.
