Weather report - Brazilian Grand Prix.

For the final time in 2004 Fromula One teams and drivers alike will look to the skies and wonder what's in store for a race weekend. The clever ones are all ready one step ahead after consulting the Crash.net weather report...

Sao Paulo, Brazil
Friday
I think there will be a lot of cloud to start the day. There is a slight risk it could produce a light, well scattered rain shower. Nothing dramatic. Despite this, there will be some bright or even sunny intervals which will burn through late morning and more so into the afternoon. A settled afternoon on the cards, as any residual showers fade away. When the sun does shine, temperatures will respond, pushing close to 25C / 77F. Light to moderate breezes. 20 Per cent risk of light, morning rain showers.
Saturday
Once again, it could be another rather dull start, with a good deal of cloud around. It should brighten up with some sunny intervals for the rest of the morning period. By midday, cloud will thicken, but it should remain dry. Heading into the afternoon, the cloud will have clumped together enough to form isolated, heavy showers, which have a slight risk of affecting the qualifying sessions. Sunny intervals in between any late, sharp showers. Temperatures peaking at 26C / 79F. Light breezes. 30 Per cent risk of sharp, afternoon rain showers.
Sunday
I think we'll experience a different day today. Sunshine will be very limited and the day will be dominated by cloud and outbreaks of rain, especially during the afternoon. The morning may begin dry, but overcast, perhaps with one or two glimmers of brightness early on. Heading towards midday, we are likely to see the first splashes of rainfall entering the area. Starting off light and rather patchy, it is likely to gather strength in the afternoon, becoming heavier and more persistent during the latter half of the race itself. Temperatures peaking at 24C / 76F. Light to moderate breezes. 60 Per cent risk of precipitation.
