Rain and thunderstorms could disrupt the Singapore Grand Prix

Formula 1 drivers could face unpredictable weather during the Singapore Grand Prix, which will take place from 9 to 11 October. Friday is expected to bring temperatures of around 29–31°C, high humidity and a relatively low chance of rain during the evening sessions. The only free practice session and sprint qualifying will take place then.

Conditions are expected to become increasingly unstable on Saturday, with the chance of short showers rising. Temperatures will remain high, while the heavy humidity will make conditions more difficult for both the drivers and the cars. The sprint race is scheduled for 17:00 local time, followed by qualifying for the Grand Prix at 21:00.

Sunday’s forecast is the most interesting, with a higher chance of showers and thunderstorms over Singapore. Some weather models are predicting a very high probability of rain during the day. The Grand Prix is scheduled to start at 20:00 local time, with temperatures expected to be around 29°C and humidity remaining high.

If the rain reaches Marina Bay around the start or during the race, the conditions could have a major impact on tyre choices, strategy and the outcome of the Grand Prix.
