Latest Singapore GP weather update: Is rain in the air?

Round 18 of the 2024 F1 world championship takes place from Singapore with Lando Norris starting the race from pole position ahead of Max Verstappen.

All through the weekend at the Marina Bay Circuit there has been a small chance of rain - and the weather situation for the Singapore Grand Prix is no different.

Singapore experiences a tropical climate, which means it is often hit by strong thunderstorms. 

Although the race is likely to be dry, local showers can always occur - so a chance of rain is therefore not entirely out of the question.

It is an element that will add another layer of uncertainty as the drivers look to bring home a strong result from the event.

The tropical climate does mean that it will be very hot and humid at the circuit, but as the race takes place at 8 p.m. local time, it will have already cooled down slightly. 

However, at 29 degrees it will still feel very hot and offer a great physical challenge for the drivers behind the wheel.
