RCB vs GT: Weather forecast for IPL 2026 Final, Ahmedabad (31st May)

The IPL 2026 final RCB vs GT will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are all set to clash against Gujarat Titans (GT) in the final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

Both teams have been dominant throughout the tournament, as they finished in the top two of the points table and faced each other in Qualifier 1 at Dharamshala, where RCB cruised to victory and earned their place in the final.

However, GT got another chance in New Chandigarh, where they defeated Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 to enter the final. They will be familiar with the conditions, especially because it is their home ground. The final promises to be an electrifying contest as two heavyweights clash.

In this case, the weather forecast becomes important as it may play a big role in the conditions and the behaviour of the pitch.On that note, let’s have a look at the weather forecast for the IPL 2026 final.

Weather report for the RCB vs GT IPL 2026 final

According to Weather.com, Ahmedabad will have a sunny day, but around the time of the final, we might see showers and thunderstorms. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for thunderstorms, light rain, and gusty winds during the match hours, which could hamper the chances of a full game being played.

Heavy rainfall is expected to hit the city on 1 June as well, but the chances of rain during the match hours of the final cannot be ruled out. The IPL has a reserve day in place in case the final gets washed out or faces any other interruptions. However, the forecast for the following day is even worse, with heavy rainfall expected.

Every effort will be made to complete the game on Sunday itself, even if it results in a shortened contest. In the event that both days are washed out, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be crowned IPL 2026 champions because they finished higher on the points table than Gujarat Titans.

Earlier, in IPL 2023, the final between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings was also pushed to the reserve day, where CSK emerged victorious and claimed their fifth trophy. The winner of this year’s final will lift the IPL trophy for the second time, becoming the fourth-most successful franchise in IPL history behind Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, and Kolkata Knight Riders.
