Updated weather forecast for 2025 F1 Austrian Grand Prix

In large parts of Europe, temperatures are rising to tropical levels this weekend and Austria is no exception.

During the grand prix, which starts at 3 PM local time, it will be roughly 31 degrees at the Red Bull Ring. 

Despite the occasional pile of clouds drifting by, the sun is also shining with strength and heat up the asphalt, creating a headache for the teams and drivers as they attempt to manage their tyres.

McLaren is known to be able cope with the hotter temperatures more than its rivals, given it an advantage for the race.

Does anyone have an answer for the Woking-based squad? We will soon find out.

But it is not only the drivers and teams who have to take the heat into account. The spectators present should also prepare. 

Even at the end of the afternoon, around 4 PM local time the sun's intensity is still high with a UV index of 6 or 7, which can burn unprotected skin in as little as 10 to 20 minutes.
