Rain expected in Monaco
One week after the cancellation of the Imola Grand Prix due to the heavy storms that hit Emilie-Romagne, Formula 1 is back in action this weekend in Monaco. Rain is expected throughout the weekend in the Principality.
While residents of the Emilie-Romagne region in northern Italy finally see the weather improving, the weather in Monaco is expected to be unpredictable. The weather forecast predicts showers throughout the day on Friday. There is a 70% chance of rain and even a risk of thunderstorms.
For Saturday, storms are already forecasted with a chance of showers throughout the day and night. There is also a 70% chance of rain, similar to Friday.
Finally, on Sunday, the weather forecasts are not very different, except that the thunderstorms should disappear. Showers are still expected throughout the day, so the chances of witnessing the first race in the rain of 2023 are very high.
In 2022, the race had been delayed by over an hour due to a heavy downpour that hit the track just minutes before the start. Sergio Pérez had managed to overcome the elements and emerged victorious in Monaco.
