Weather forecast | First wet race of 2022 already in Australia?
- GPblog.com
The Australian Grand Prix is usually run under bright sunshine, but that may be different in 2022. According to Weather.com the chance of rain during the race on Sunday is very high.
This coming weekend the Formula One circus can be admired in Australia where the third race of the Formula One season will be held at Albert Park. After evening races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, the race in Melbourne will be held in the afternoon (local time). However, we do not have to count on sunshine for Sunday.
Rain in Melbourne
On Friday it will already be partly cloudy in Melbourne, with a fourteen percent chance of rain. Then there is also little wind and it is expected to be about 23 degrees in the afternoon. On Saturday that temperature increases to 26 degrees, there is also a little more wind, but there is still only a ten percent chance of rain.
On Sunday, however, a lesser period begins for Melbourne, because that is the first of three days where rain is predicted. It is still 25 degrees in the afternoon, but the wind is increasing and there is a 43 percent chance of rain. Whether the rain actually falls during the race that starts at 5am UK time always remains to be seen.
