Rain could play a factor at the Australian Grand Prix as the 2025 F1 season kicks off this weekend.

As things currently stand, the first two days in Melbourne are going to be hot and sunny, with humid conditions greeting the drivers atꦑ F1’s first grand prix of the season.

After a cloudy start on Friday, the two practice sessions should take place in sunny conditions and temperatures in the mid-to-high twe🍎nties. Meanwhile, humidity levels are 🅺expected to be between 63% and 69%.

Saturday should see a similar picture but with higher temperatures. A high of 3♌5 degrees is predicted, though the humidity is forecast to be much lower compared to Friday.

There is a less than 20% chance of rain for Saturday, however there is a small risk of some precipitation at the very end of ꧂qualifying.

Rain to hit on race day?

Race day is where things get interesting. There is a high chance of rain from mid𝓀day, with the current forecast at more than 80%.

C🌊onditions on Sunday are expected to be much cooler (around the low-to-mid twenties) and more gusty. 💛Any delays could cause complications with fading daylight, with sunset expected at around 7.30pm local time.

The last wet Australianꦕ Grand Prix was 2010, while qualifying took place in rainy conditions in 2014. 

McLaren head into the 2025 curtain-raiser as tꦆhe early favourites following a strong pre-season testing for the reigning world champ💦ions.
