So what does the weather have in store for Friday 14th at Cheltenham? Well in looks like it's going to be a fine and bright day, with a little cloud around lunch time, quickly clearing to leave dry and bright afternoon and evening. It will be a relatively warm day, with a top temperature of around 17c. It will be a breezy day with westerly winds of up to 13mph. Later in the afternoon and into the evening it will start to feel a lot colder, particularly in the wind.
