The Japanese Grand Prix weekend may experience a mixed weather forecast, with showers expected at Suzuka. Long-term forecasts had initially predicted heavy rain-showers for the race, as it was moved from October to April. October in Japan is peak typhoon season, with the 2019 race’s Saturday events abandoned due to a typhoon threat. Thankfully, there is no typhoon threat for this weekend, as confirmed by RacingNews365’s partner WeerOnline. Friday is anticipated to have a temperature of around 21 degrees with chances of showers during practice sessions, accompanied by light winds. Saturday’s qualifying could be overcast with a maximum temperature of 17 degrees and possible showers in the evening. Finally, race day will see a westerly wind, high humidity, but a low chance of rain at the 2pm local time start. The westerly wind may impact certain parts of the track, making it an interesting race to watch.
