Forecast for the Monaco Grand Prix

5/23/2025

Comments

 
Picture
We have a pleasant weekend of weather for the Monaco Grand Prix as a High pressure system with a loose pressure gradient will be laying over the region. This will keep cloud coverage low and humidity levels down along with mild temperatures throughout the day. There are hardly any rain chances for the weekend as well, so we should see a pretty clean race for Monaco standards. This track already does not allow much overtake so without volatile weather conditions, qualifying is going to be very important for the result of race day.

Forecast for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix

A loose low pressure gradient lays over the region for this weekend keeping wind speeds low and afternoon moisture present. Friday should be clear and calm with Saturday being much of the same except afternoon storms begin to increase in number for that afternoon. Chances of rain are low but possible as storms will be popping up later in the day Saturday as well as Sunday.

Rain chances increase for Sunday afternoon but still remain low as these storms will be isolated and scattered around the region. Wind speeds will be low but the cloud coverage from the low pressure on Sunday could bring volatile track temps, especially if we get any precipitation. 

Drivers should be wary of these threats, but it should not be causing too great of impacts. The threats exist, but the chances are low that any major impacts arise. Radar surveillance could be crucial for race day though along with tyre management. See metric graphic below:

Forecast for the Miami Grand Prix

We've got some interesting weather on deck for the Miami Grand Prix as Spring time is in full swing. High humidity is expected and increases as the weekend goes on. A Low pressure system will be moving toward the region and increasing rainfall chances through Sunday as it converges with the warm, moist southeasterly winds. These storms would be scattered and at their peak in the afternoons as the sea breeze picks up.

Winds could get gusty if there are storms in the area, so teams must be prepared for multiple different scenarios this weekend. I will be posting radar updates for race day as storms could play a major factor in the outcome of this one. Temperatures will be quite warm too so hydration should be taken into account as well. We should be in for a good one! See metric graphic below...

Forecast for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

Nothing too crazy is in store for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix as a loose High pressure gradient will be laid over the area through the weekend. We can expect cool mornings and hot afternoons with low humidity, so by night fall we should have pleasant conditions for drivers. Wind speeds will be low all weekend as well so sand on the track and hazy conditions will likely not be a threat. Drivers will get a respite from dealing with volatile weather conditions for these Middle East races. See metric graphic below...

We have some pretty seasonal weather for the Bahrain Grand Prix as it is going to be hot and humid out there. Gusty winds in the afternoons as the sea breeze sets in, but should be calm by the night time hours of race day. A Low pressure system is moving through Friday that will also kick wind speeds up a bit but dies back down for Saturday's session. Sunday will be like most years' past with little consequence from the weather outside of having a warm ambient temperature. We will get back to some more volatile weather when we get going with our Europe races. See metric graphic below:

Forecast for the Japanese Grand Prix

A chilly weekend with some rain at the back end is in store for the Japanese Grand Prix. A Low pressure system will be moving through the region with a cold front bringing a long squall line that is slated to pass over the site Sunday morning. Leading up to this frontal passage, gusty winds will be present Friday afternoon with much calmer conditions for Saturday. Clouds begin to set in Saturday afternoon ahead of the storms which could pose a challenge for keeping tires warm.

Expect severe storms Sunday morning and possibly into the afternoon as the squall line makes its way through the area. Even if the storms pass before race time, the track will be wet and low temp which poses a challenge for drivers' strategies. I will monitor and update the timing of the storms for race day.

Forecast for the Chinese Grand Prix

We travel to Shanghai for the second race of this 2025 F1 season and find some mostly pleasant weather while out there. A deep Low pressure system Northeast of the site toward Japan will induce a High pressure system that will be sitting just east of Shanghai over the East China Sea. This will keep a steady westerly flow over the region through the weekend with pockets of gusty winds in the afternoon.

Friday and Saturday will be clear and mostly calm with the only threat to teams being high track temps. Sunday presents a bit more of a challenge as a band of scattered light rain is forecasted to be moving through the region. Chances are low as of now for any major impacts to the track or that the precipitation materializes at all, though it is worth mentioning after the major impacts of the rain to last week's race. I will keep a close eye on these rain chances and any impacts to the race. For now, we can expect clouds to set in that afternoon with a small possibility of short-lived rain.

We are back with another season of Formula One! We start right off with some volatile weather in Melbourne as the afternoons will be gusty for Friday and Saturday. A Low pressure system will be passing through the region Sunday bringing a line of scattered storms that afternoon. Wind gusts reach up to 35 mph paired with a rainy afternoon giving teams a tough task right off the bat.

Practice sessions will be mostly clear and clean for Friday and Saturday outside of high track temps. Sunday will give teams a good taste of how sound their strategies are as there will be a couple different elements to balance. The new faces on the grid will be tested early this season!
