F1 2024 Mexican Grand Prix weather forecast - latest today from Mexico City

The eyes of the world are on Mexico City this weekend as Formula 1 returns to Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez for the 2024 Mexican Grand Prix.

With just five rounds left in the current season, the battle for the championship is even tighter, with Ferrari joining the party just eight points behind Red Bull in the constructors' standings following their glorious one-two at COTA.

Max Verstappen managed to extend his lead in the drivers' championship, and is now 57 points ahead of the McLaren of Lando Norris, following intervention from the FIA that led to a dramatic conclusion at the US GP.

Verstappen's team-mate, on the other hand, only managed a P7 finish, with Sergio Perez's potential replacement Liam Lawson just two places behind him, despite starting from 19th.

With his career on the line, Perez will be hoping to get off to a better start at his home race this year than he did in 2023, where the disastrous outing saw him crash out at the first corner.

But how will the weather play out for this weekend's F1 action?

Mexican Grand Prix weather forecast

Saturday, October 26: FP3 & Qualifying

The final practice session of the weekend will take place under cool conditions at a start time of 11:30 (CST). Temperatures are expected to reach 18 degrees, with just a small chance of rain at one per cent.

It looks as though qualifying in Mexico City will also be dry when action gets underway at 15:00 (CST). Although earlier in the week a small chance of rain was forecast for the session, the suggestion now is that the chance of wet weather stands at zero per cent.

Sunday, October 27: Race

Sunday's race will kick off at 2pm local time (CST), with temperatures expected to be around the 22 degrees mark when the lights go out and cars head into the first corner, a slight increase from Saturday.

Compared to Saturday, the chance of rain on Sunday is also slightly higher. Crucially, though, the chances of wet racing in the grand scheme of things are still very marginal, with just a five per cent chance of rainfall during the race.
