Let us take a look at the weather forecast for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix (GP), scheduled to take place this weekend in Baku
Formula One action resumes in Baku after this short break following three enthralling races in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Australia. The main race is scheduled to take place on April 30 while the Azerbaijan GP will also host the first Sprint Race event on April 29. Let us now take a detailed look at the weather forecast for this weekend’s Azerbaijan GP.
The forecast for the weekend in Baku looks bright with hardly any chances of rainfall. The temperature will be ideal for racing, hovering around 22-23 degrees Celsius throughout the weekend, so that’s not much of a worry. However, cloudy conditions are expected on both the Sprint Race day (April 29) and the main Race (April 30).
Friday is expected to be sunny, warm and bright and we should be having a smooth practice session. The Sprint qualifying session and the Sprint race on Saturday will take place under cloudy conditions but chances of rainfall are less.
The main race on Sunday will experience partly cloudy conditions but the temperature is expected to be ideal for racing. Although the rain is not much of a threat on race day, conditions might change quickly – fans and teams will have their fingers crossed that rain doesn’t play spoilsport.
