After an amazing 20th race weekend of the 2021 Formula One calendar, the racing action returns this weekend for the Saudi Arabian GP. Just like the last time around at Doha, this will also be an inaugural race as Saudi Arabian GP is set to take place for the first time. The race will be held on a newly constructed Jeddah Corniche Circuit in the city of Jeddah.
As mentioned earlier, that this is the first time that Saudi Arabia is hosting a Formula One race. The teams as well as the fans are not aware of how the usual conditions are at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit. Which makes it really important to know the weather conditions to answer the curiosity of the fans. So, in this article we will bring you everything you need to know about the weather in Jeddah for the upcoming F1 weekend.
2021 Saudi Arabian GP Weather Report
The weather report from Jeddah for the F1 weekend seems to be really promising and looks set there seems to be no weather intervention at the weekend. It is worth noting that the weather is usually very dry in that part of the world, nothing can be taken for granted. Take a look at the weather report below:
| Day | Highest | Lowest |
| Friday | Sunny, 32 °C | 22 °C |
| Saturday | Sunny, 31 °C | 22 °C |
| Sunday | Sunny, 31°C | 23°C |
The weather reports suggest that the conditions will stay sunny and dry for the upcoming race weekend which can give the racers a bit of headache. As the tires wear out really quickly in hot conditions and it becomes really hot inside the cockpit as well.
However, to challenge this problem, the race is set to take place at evening time (17:30 GMT). Much to the liking of the fans, they are in for an amazing Formula One weekend as the weather reports don’t give away anything that can disrupt the race from happening this weekend.
