Check out the full weather forecast ahead of the 2026 F1 Australian Grand Prix.
The 2025 Australian Grand Prix started in wet conditions, marking the first time in F1 world championship history that a season-opener began this way. Lando Norris won amidst the chaos, initiating a title-winning campaign. Looking ahead to this weekend’s race in Melbourne, there is a slight chance of rain according to the current forecast for the Albert Park weekend. While Friday and Sunday are expected to be sunny with temperatures in the low-to-mid 20s Celsius, Saturday’s practice and qualifying sessions may see overcast skies and isolated showers due to rain cells moving in from Brisbane and the Tasman Sea. The wind is predicted to change direction over the weekend, potentially assisting drivers in overtaking maneuvers at certain sections of the track.
