Rain Set to Hit Sunday as Formula 1 Montreal Weekend Turns

Rain is set to reach formula 1 montreal on Sunday after two dry days to open Grand Prix weekend. Montrealers got sunny skies on Friday, and race day is expected to bring a sharp shift to periods of rain and a high of 13 C.

Montreal Grand Prix weekend

Friday opened with sunshine and a forecast high of 20 C, while clear skies were expected overnight as temperatures dropped to 7 C. Saturday was set to stay mostly sunny for much of the day, with cloud cover increasing in the afternoon and a high of 21 C.

That leaves Sunday as the clear break in the pattern. Periods of rain were expected to move into Montreal for Formula One race day, and the forecast called for rain to continue into Sunday night with temperatures holding around 12 C.

Sunday race-day shift

The change is not limited to one afternoon. Rain was also forecast for Monday, with a warmer high of 23 C, before sunny skies and 27 C arrive on Tuesday. Wednesday was expected to bring another 27 C day with a mix of sun and cloud, followed by a milder 25 C Thursday under the same mixed skies.

For spectators and anyone following the Montreal Grand Prix closely, the weekend moves from warm and bright to damp and much cooler by race day, then stays unsettled into the start of the work week. The practical takeaway is simple: Saturday looks like the best stretch for dry conditions, while Sunday is the day to plan for rain and lower temperatures.
