The final race of the season is here, as Formula 1 gets underway for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Even though the race takes place in November, the climate at Yas Marina is anything but cool as temperatures are expected to reach to around 29 degrees Celsius. It is a lot hotter than what the teams and drivers experienced in Las Vegas, but with it being a twilight race temperatures are expected to cool as the race progresses.

Moderate weather for the race

According to our friends at Weeronline.nl , at the start of the race on Sunday at 5pm local time it will be about 27 degrees Celsius. Halfway through the race, the sun sets and the temperature then drops to about 26 degrees at the finish. The wind is moderate coming in from the northwest, however it is not expected to impact the drivers on track.
