F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix weather forecast - Wind could trouble drivers in hot and sticky conditions

The Jeddah Corniche Circuit plays host to the fourth Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and the second race of the 2024 F1 season, after Max Verstappen took the spoils in the sport's Bahrain curtain-raiser.

Teams are plunging into the challenging 24-race 2024 calendar and will now be gearing up for today's race in Jeddah, which, similar to Bahrain, is also held on a Saturday due to the holy month of Ramadan beginning on March 11.

The grid is in hot pursuit, striving to close the gap on the reigning Dutch world champion, who displayed an imposing dominance during the first race in Sakhir.

Nevertheless, an air of unpredictability looms over all the teams and drivers at such an early stage of what is a mammoth season.

So, could the weather add an extra layer of complexity, throwing an unexpected curveball into the mix?

Saudi Arabian Grand Prix weather forecast

Saturday

Today (Saturday, March 9) should see temperatures range between 26 and 25 degrees Celsius, as the cars are out on track at 8pm local time.

Humidity levels of up to 43 percent will make things a little sticky in the cockpits. We should get a calmer picture in terms of the wind, providing some relief from the otherwise windy weekend.

Maximum temperature expected: 32 Celsius
Minimum temperature expected: 20 Celsius
Chance of rain: 0%.
