Emilia Romagna GP 2023: Weather forecast–how’s the weather like in Imola?

Here’s everything you need to know about the weather forecast for the Emilia Romagna GP, scheduled to take place this weekend at the Imola circuit

Formula One action moves to Italy this weekend for the fourth edition of the Miami GP after enthralling races in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Azerbaijan and Miami. The Emilia Romagna GP is the first of the two races that are scheduled to take place in Italy this season. The historic Imola circuit is the home of the Emilia Romagna GP and will once again host the race this weekend – let us take a closer look at the weather forecast for this weekend.

The weather forecast for the weekend in Imola looks a bit dicey as things stand. It’s not great news for the fans or the teams as there are high chances that we may face disturbances in the form of rain and thunderstorms on all three days of the racing weekend. According to the official weather forecast, scattered showers are predicted on May 19 while heavy rainfall and thunderstorms are predicted on May 20 and May 21.

The weather forecast implies that the Grand Prix might well be taking place on a wet track just like it happened in 2022. It is going to be more challenging for the drivers to race on a wet track and at the same time it bridges the gap between the more ‘powerful’ and the relatively ‘weaker’ cars on the grid. Fans will have their fingers crossed hoping that we are treated to some quality action and rain doesn’t play spoilsport.
