Let us take a look at the weather forecast for the Miami Grand Prix, scheduled to take place this weekend at the Miami International Autodrome
Miami is all set to host its second-ever Grand Prix as the action moves to the United States this weekend after enthralling races in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Australia and Azerbaijan. Miami made an extravagant debut on the F1 calendar last year and it promises to be bigger and better this weekend. The Miami International Autodrome located within the famous Hard Rock stadium is set to host this Grand Prix – let us take a close look at the weather forecast for this weekend.
The forecast for the weekend in Miami looks a bit dicey with moderate chances of rainfall. You must be prepared for intervals of rainfall and carry umbrellas or raincoats to protect yourself from showers if you are attending the race. 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 a brief spell of rainfall is expected but practice sessions won’t be affected much according to the forecast as it will only be a passing shower. The qualifying session on Saturday will take place under cloudy conditions but the chances of rainfall are less with temperatures hovering around 24-28 degrees Celsius. The main race on Sunday will experience partly cloudy conditions and there is a possibility of rainfall during the race. Although the rain is not a severe threat on race day, conditions might change quickly – fans and teams will have their fingers crossed that rain doesn’t play spoilsport.
