Jep, erittäin hyvältä :thumbup:Pienikin sade toisi mukavasti lisäväriä kilpailuun. Nyt näyttää siinä suhteessa siis ihan hyvältä.
Jos tämä jatkuu kauankin, rata ei hetkessä kuivu (olettaen silloinkin, etteivät uudet sadekuurot tule)The rain is becoming slightly heavier again and the circuit is now fuly damp. Any more of this and we will move towards a lightly wet condition.
The track temperature is 15 degrees with air temperature being 13 degrees Celsius currently, very chilly conditions with humidity at 83 percent.
The latest satellite images show that the worst of today's rain may now have passed, allowing the track to dry, ahead of the start of the race.
Light showers are still possible later this afternoon. There is enough in the forecasts to keep the teams on their toes this afternoon. Their main focus before the start of the race will be the drying up of the track surface, and whether to start the 44-lap event on Bridgestone's dry tyres, or go for intermediates.
In the first half of this week the weather is set to be very welcoming in northern Italy, with high pressure dominating, bringing pleasant conditions and warm temperatures in the high twenties Celsius range while the teams set up their garages for the race weekend.
A change is on the way however, as you can see from the surface pressure charts, with a weak low pressure system moving in to western Europe, spreading south east and bringing with it less predictable weather.
On Friday, thundery showers are possible with most meteorological agencies forecasting between 50 and 70 percent chance of showers. Saturday and Sunday do look better, but the European rainmaps show that rain is present in all directions surrounding Monza across the three days of the event, as this low continues to move over the region.
Just as last week, there will be numerous small changes to the predicted forecasts, depending on how the models think the low will move during the next few days. It is therefore wise to let the forecasts settle down for a time, while we wait for more reliable information. The general summary as of today is pleasant and warm, with possible changes coming for the weekend.
Ei kyllä tule ensimmäistäkään sadekisaa mieleen.:eek!:
No jopas jotain. Milloin viimeksi on nähty Italiassa sadekisa?
Tämä vain vahvistaa sen, että tärkeimmät säähavaintolaitteet vaikuttavan nykyään olevan arpakuutioita :doubtful:Weather-forecast.com ei lupaa vielä tässä vaiheessa lauantaille ja sunnuntaille muuta kuin selkeää, mutta eiköhän tuo vielä kehity aika paljon.
Yleensä (eli aina) tarkin on ollut tuo Autosportin sääennustus saitti, joka kokoaa yhteen eri sivuilta poimittuja ennustuksia. Yleensä osuu nappiin :thumbup:Tämä vain vahvistaa sen, että tärkeimmät säähavaintolaitteet vaikuttavan nykyään olevan arpakuutioita :doubtful:
:thumbup:Mikäli oikein ymmärsin, niin paikallinen säätutka on 107 metrin korkeudella merenpinnasta.
Monza and wet weather is a worrying combination, but one that Formula One is likely to see a lot of this weekend, as the sport moves towards round 14 of a season that is beginning to reach boiling point.
The initial forecast, published on Monday, suggested that rain would be possible on Friday, with Saturday and Sunday mainly dry.
Since then, the forecasts have deteriorated considerably.
The GFS model pressure charts show that an area of low pressure will move much closer to Italy, and be more potent than originally thought. The consequences of this development will provide an alarming backdrop to what was already guaranteed to be a highly-charged weekend.
As you can see by scrolling through the pressure charts, a low pressure system is set to develop in north-west France early on Friday. It will deepen slightly and move south-east, towards Italy during the course of the weekend. Switching to the rainmap, the full extent of the rain associated with this low can be seen.
On Friday, the Formula One practice sessions are expected to escape with dry conditions prevailing, but only just. Later on, the showers and bands of heavy rain will arrive, soaking the track overnight.
Saturday and Sunday are widely expected to be very wet by most weather sources. Weather.com lead the way with a flat 60 percent chance of rain on all three days. Weather Underground are convinced, predicting a 90 percent chance of rain for Saturday and 70 percent for Sunday.
Local weather agencies are usually a better yardstick to guage wet forecasts by, as they tend to know their own climate in a more complete way than a mainstream forecast. The percentages are equally high there as well. 3BMeteo forecast a 90 percent chance of rain on Friday night, with further rain expected on Saturday morning, Saturday night and throughout Sunday. Excite Italia suggest a 70 to 90 percent chance of rain across the weekend.
Temperatures are set to plummet as the low approaches. On Wednesday the maximum is expected to touch 30 degrees Celsius. By contrast, on Sunday the mercury may only peak at 17 degrees.
In summary, the forecast from Friday evening onwards is not good, and if the current predictions are maintained during the next 24 hours, concerns will quickly mount in the pitlane as low downforce meets low grip.
Niin sais, mutta lämpimämpää vois olla, muuten Laarenit on turhan ylivoimaisia...Nyt kun omien suosikkien mahdollisuudet mestaruuden suhteen alkaa olla mennyttä, niin sitä alkaa itekin toivoa oikein kunnon kaaoskisoja, että on edes jotain jännitettävää. Montsassa sais kyllä tulla vettä oikein kaatamalla.
