During the Formula 1 weekend in Monaco, the sun is expected to shine brightly, with a chance of a thunderstorm primarily on Friday. According to Weeronline, Sunday, when the Grand Prix of Monaco is set to take place, will likely be dry and sunny.

Both Friday and the weekend are expected to be sunny. However, rain and thunderstorms may develop in the mountains north of Monaco. Late Friday afternoon, there could be a heavy thunderstorm in Monaco, increasing the likelihood that the second free practice will take place under wet conditions. Weeronline predicts that the chance of a shower in Monaco on Saturday is very slim. “This means that the qualification will most likely take place on a dry circuit,” says the weather bureau.

On Sunday, the chance of showers in the mountains north of Monaco is much smaller. The starting signal for the race is given at 15:00 CET, which is 14:00 UTC; the afternoon is expected to remain dry with plenty of sunshine. The afternoon temperature for this race weekend is expected to be around 22 degrees, with a moderate wind.
