India vs England 1st Test, Weather Report: The weather continues to be a crucial element that could affect the result as the eagerly awaited Day 4 of the maiden Test match between India and England begins at Headingley. With a lead of just over 100 runs, India is currently in a precarious position, thus the circumstances and disruptions are very important.

The most recent AccuWeather forecast states that Leeds will begin with partly sunny skies, although the weather is now gloomy with light rain reported in some places. Thankfully, the likelihood of rain decreases considerably after 9:00 AM, which corresponds with the start time of 11:00 AM.

A strong westerly wind blowing at 24 km/h with gusts up to 63 km/h will accompany temperatures that range between 17 and 18°C. Given the wind and cloud cover, both teams are likely to take advantage of the bowler-friendly conditions.
