Initial Forecast for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

11/16/2022

By: Harris Cooley

As we round out our F1 season in Abu Dhabi, I'd like to thank those who have tuned in to these forecasts and already can't wait for next year! In terms of weather, it is not out of the ordinary for this region with sunny skies and moderate to gusty winds being present. Temperatures will be warm during the day but will quickly cool off once the sun goes down for race time. The main concern to watch for is varying downforce around the track as wind speeds will be gusty throughout the weekend. A metric graphic is posted below...

Initial Forecast for the Brazil Grand Prix

11/9/2022

By: Harris Cooley

The afternoons for this weekend are likely going to be filled with thunderstorms as this time of the year is prime for this weather. Winds blowing in off of the coast mixed with good sunshine will trigger afternoon convection over much of this area. They will be scattered but will likely affect the track throughout the weekend. Race day Sunday appears to be clearing up a bit more than the previous days, but still a chance for showers. A metric graphic is posted below...

Initial Forecast for the Mexico Grand Prix

10/25/2022

By: Harris Cooley

This weekend is shaping up for some volatile weather with chances for rain Saturday afternoon and slight chances Sunday. Higher pressures are expected to lay over the site for the weekend, but afternoon convection mixed with converging surface winds could lead to some pop-up storms in the late afternoon/evening. Wind speeds will be low and the direction will vary as the surrounding mountains in the area affect the direction.

Temps will be moderate in the afternoon leaving track temps higher than ideal but still quite manageable, especially after the US Grand Prix's track temps. I will provide an update on the rain chances as we get closer to the weekend. A metric graphic is pasted below...

Initial Forecast for the United States Grand Prix

10/20/2022

By: Harris Cooley

The weather is going to be beautiful in Austin this weekend with sunny skies and plenty of wind. Conditions may end up being a bit tough for the drivers' as track temps will be hot and winds will be quite gusty. A deep low pressure will be forming over the mid-latitudes of the US which is what is going to be causing these increased sustained wind speeds. Keeping an eye on track temps as well as wind speeds will be the two main factors for teams to be watching for.

I myself will be on-site to report any changing conditions. A metric graphic is posted below...

Initial Forecast for the Japan Grand Prix

10/6/2022

By: Harris Cooley

A converging boundary east of the area will be keeping rain chances high for Friday with scattered showers throughout the day. The weather clears up for Saturday and Sunday morning with a slight increase in wind speeds as the pressure gradient remains tightened over the region. Sunday afternoon has a chance for another rain boundary to move through the site and bring scattered showers as a Low is expected to form east of the site. Updates to come and a metric graphic is posted below...

Initial Forecast for the Singapore Grand Prix

9/29/2022

By: Harris Cooley

It's looking like a rainy weekend for the Grand Prix as lower pressures lay over the area. Wind speeds will stay low as well as temperatures so these will not be a factor affecting the race too heavily. Storms in the area will be scattered and sporadic flowing in off the coast. The afternoons should be clearer with the highest chances of rain being in the morning. Overall, the tire selection will be the biggest strategy component for this weekend.

We're in for a mixture of weather conditions for this weekend at the historic Monza. A Low pressure system will be moving though the area early Friday morning likely bringing consistent rain storms into the afternoon. The rain chances go down by Saturday as this Low moves south giving way to clearer skies and light winds for race day. Nice calm conditions will be present for Sunday with mostly sunny skies and moderate temps. A metric graphic is posted below...
