There's a possibility of rain on Saturday morning as the weather forecast says there's a 50% chance of rain. This could affect the FP3 session and hinder the team's preparations ahead of the Qualifying in the evening.

There won't be any rain on any other day of the F1 weekend but Friday evening, when Free Practice 2 is scheduled, is expected to have overcast conditions.

On Sunday, there's no possibility of rain either but is expected to be the hottest day of the race weekend. However, the mercury will drop below 30 by the time of the race in the evening, creating idle conditions to race.
