The current weather forecast for the race in Austria
(Motorsport-Total.com) – There are very crucial questions on every Formula 1 race weekend in 2022. Namely: What is the weather forecast? Are wet roads to be expected on site? Do you need intermediates or even rain tires? Or does it just stay consistently dry from practice to qualifying to the race and dry tires are enough? In short: What do the drivers around Sebastian Vettel and Mick Schumacher, Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton have to be prepared for?

In order to be able to answer these questions, our editors keep a close eye on the weather at the Formula 1 venues a few days before the start of tests or race weekends. And as the event progresses, this preview article WILL be updated with new information on the weather such as temperature in degrees Celsius, wind speed, cloudiness and expected precipitation for the individual days of the weekend.
The result is a weather forecast that is as accurate as possible for the respective Grands Prix of the 2022 Formula 1 season. However, all information is subject to change, after all, some motorsport locations such as Spa-Francorchamps or the Nürburgring are known to have particularly changeable weather , which cannot always be accurately predicted. There may also be unannounced precipitation.
Next time Formula 1 will take to the track in Spielberg, Austria, from 8th to 10th July 2022 for the eleventh race of the 2022 Formula 1 season. (Check the full 2022 Formula 1 calendar here!)
The current forecast for the eleventh race of the season in Spielberg (July 8th to 10th):
After the dramatic race at Silverstone, the next Formula 1 highlight is coming up a week later in Spielberg. Not only the next sprint race awaits us in picturesque Styria, but also a fantastic fan atmosphere.
For years, thousands of fans from all over Europe and many from the Netherlands have made the pilgrimage to the Austrian Grand Prix to support Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing at their home game. This year, the organizer is even expecting a new attendance record. Can the masses look forward to the sun or will the party take place under umbrellas?
the sky is on Saturday heavily overcast over Spielberg, so the sun can only be seen for a good 5 hours. It gets correspondingly cool, with temperatures just under the 20-degree mark. However, there is no risk of rain from these cloud masses. The chance of rain is given as zero percent both in the second free practice session and in the sprint race.
And the wind shouldn’t be too much of a problem either: although the wind direction is constantly changing, the maximum speeds are just 25 km/h. The second sprint of the season also seems to be taking place under decent weather conditions.
On race Sunday the weather changes during the day. It will likely rain during the night and early morning hours. However, despite a heavily overcast sky, the weather appears to be holding up from midday, meaning the Grand Prix will most likely be run in dry conditions.
As on the previous day, the temperatures during the race are around the 20-degree mark, but the wind is increasing significantly and reaching top speeds of up to 32 km/h. Since the wind is constantly changing at the same time, it could cause one or the other problem.
The Austrian Grand Prix is also likely to take place under cloudy skies and mild temperatures. After all, the Red Bull home game doesn’t seem to fall through.
u#Note:#u This prediction WILL be updated several times throughout the week!
The first forecast for the following race in Le Castellet (07/24/2022):

With around twelve hours of sunshine per day expected, the temperatures at the Red Bull Ring will reach up to 25 degrees Celsius. The best day will probably be Sunday. There is a low chance of rain for the entire event, but it is likely to stay dry in Spielberg.
