Unsettled weather ahead?

As F1 returns to action for the second consecutive weekend, the traditionally hot and sunny conditions experienced at Monza may be at risk for this weekend's Italian Grand Prix.

The weather conditions on Friday will be varied with a mixture of sunshine and couldier interludes during the morning and afternoon, with scattered, sharp rain showers in the area expected. It will be warm though at 27C, but humid and according to F1 weather experts Meteorological Services the risk of rain will be 50-60 per cent.

Conditions on Saturday are set to become very unsettled with cloudy and wet conditions forecast for the morning with a risk of some heavy rain, moving away to leave isolated showers in the afternoon. Conditions will be cooler though with temperature down at 21C. The risk of rain in the morning is 90 per cent, falling to 40 per cent in the afternoon.

Race day should start cloudy with a continued threat of brief, isolated showers. Temperatures should be around 22C and the risk of rain lower at 40 per cent.
