Will rain play a part at the Japanese Grand Prix? Here is the forecast

At a track where fans could already see wet Grands Prix in the past, will that be once again the case in Suzuka? For now, it seems like another rainy race awaits the fans in Japan. Here is the weather report for the upcoming weekend.

So far in the 2025 season, there has been a wet and dry Grand Prix: in Melbourne after a chaotic event, while some rain was predicted for the latter stage in Shanghai, it never arrived.

Yuki Tsunoda will make his Red Bull Racing debut at this home GP, but in what conditions will he be compared to his new teammate, Max Verstappen? At the Suzuka Circuit, indeed, a rainy Sunday is predicted according to Weather.com.

It will be a sunny start to the weekend on Friday, when FP1 and FP2 will take place in Japan. 17 degrees celsius is predicted, with only a 3% chance of rain. Then a more cloudy day follows on Saturday. By then, it will be a 10% chance of rain, but it is predicted to be less windy, as it drops from 18kph to 13 kph.

Then, rain is set to arrive towards the night on Saturday, and on the Sunday for the Grand Prix itself. There is a 70% chance of rain on the last day, with 18 degrees celsius predicted. Therefore, fans can possibly expect another chaotic event.
