The forecast for the weekend in Melbourne looks a bit dicey with moderate chances of rainfall. The temperature will be ideal for racing, so that’s not much of a worry. However, cloudy conditions along with scattered showers are predicted and that’s worrying news for teams and fans alike.

Friday is expected to be cloudy and there is a strong forecast for showers which could hamper the practice session. The qualifying session on Saturday will take place under cloudy conditions but chances of rainfall are less. The main race on Sunday will experience partly cloudy conditions but the temperature is expected to be ideal for racing. Although the rain is not much of a threat on race day, conditions might change quickly – fans and teams will have their fingers crossed that rain doesn’t play spoilsport.
