What weather is in store for the 2023 Australian GP

Rain came close to interfering with qualifying, but what weather conditions are we expecting for the 2023 Australian Grand Prix?

01 April 2023

The Australian GP qualifying hour threatened to be disrupted by rain, but forecasts suggest that Formula 1 has seen the last of any rain threat this weekend. With thanks to our friends at WeerOnline.nl , the current weather forecast is for a dry Melbourne race, with Sunday expected to be a partially-cloudy day. Temperatures are expected to be around 17 degrees Celsius for the start of the race, which are consistent with most of the weekend, making it colder than last year's race. There will only be mild wind conditions, meaning that drivers and spectators should face comfortable conditions for race.
