Dry and dusty outlook for season finale

Dry and dusty conditions to prevail for desert title showdown

Ahead of their title showdown, it seems highly appropriate that the weather conditions facing Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton this weekend will resemble those usually associated with shoot-outs in the Wild West, with UBIMET, the official meteorological service provider to the FIA, predicting dry and dusty conditions.

It is unlikely we will see tumbleweed blowing down the pit straight, at least not literally, as the Mercedes duo go head to head at a circuit best known for its bling as opposed to on-track thrills.

Ahead of the weekend there will be a mixture of some high and mid-level cloud, but otherwise mostly fine and sunny conditions are expected. Local sea breezes in some areas will see temperatures reaching reach 30 to 32 degrees Celsius.

From Friday to Sunday, the wind will be moderate from northern directions, bringing dust over Abu Dhabi and reducing visibility in some areas.

Whether the dusty conditions will remain for the whole race weekend is still uncertain. The probability for rain is very low with dry conditions likely to prevail. The highest temperatures will range between 29 and 32 degrees C.
