The Dutch Grand Prix looks set to be a wet and windy affair, potentially causing havoc as Formula 1 returns from the summer break.
Zandvoort will host the first round since the break, with race week beginning in beautiful summer conditions.
According to weather partner Weeronline, highs of 28°C are expected on Tuesday as the paddock arrives. However, conditions are forecast to deteriorate heading into the weekend.
Temperatures are set to drop to around 20°C as on-track action begins, presenting an immediate challenge in generating heat in the tyres.
Strong coastal winds are also expected, creating difficult driving conditions and making it feel cooler than the actual temperature.
Winds from the southwest will vary in strength and are expected to carry frequent showers throughout the grand prix weekend.
While rainfall is forecast across the event, the intensity and exact timing remain uncertain.
Saturday is expected to bring the heaviest showers, with brief spells of sunshine between downpours. Overall, a challenging weekend is expected from a weather perspective.
