Rain lurking in Barcelona ahead of Spanish Grand Prix

So far, the Spanish Grand Prix weekend in Barcelona has been dry, but rain is lurking ahead of the race.

The end of Sunday morning’s Formula 3 race was hit by light rain, with thunderstorms expected in north-eastern Spain. They have been forecast to hit pass over the city and potentially hit the track.

Fortunately, as race-start time of 15:00 local approaches, the sun will begin to break through, with the threat of rain reducing, but still a possibility.

In the hilly landscape of Barcelona, the rain could stay put. 

The wind is expected to be blowing at around 10-20kph with gusts of 30-40kph towards the north-east, which roughly corresponds to a head-wind on the main pit straight, which should aid overtaking, with temperatures of 22 degrees.
