February in Australia is one of the hottest months of the year. In the heart of summer, the Australian Open is played in rather difficult climatic conditions with temperatures that can be around 40 °.
With the coronavirus pandemic and the health measures imposed, the programming of the first Grand Slam of the year has been modified. Commonly scheduled for the second half of January, the OA will be played this year from February 8 to 21, where temperatures can sometimes be warmer than during the month of January.
But the weather forecast looks rather reassuring for players who will play their first tournament next week in Melbourne.
Temperatures are not expected to exceed 31 degrees in the next 15 days. Good news, especially for players who have just completed their quarantine. They need to get back in shape and will not have to suffer from the weather conditions.
