UBIMET, the official meteorological service provider to the FIA, predicts a changeable weather pattern throughout the Silverstone week with some rain arriving later in the week and over the weekend.
On Tuesday, after some showers in the morning, a windy but dry mixture of sun and clouds will dominate. Maximum temperatures will reach 19 degrees.
The weather will remain dry but cloudy until Thursday afternoon, when some showers are anticipated with strengthening westerly winds. Temperatures will max out at 19 degrees on Wednesday and Thursday.
On Friday and Saturday clouds and spells of rain will predominate. Hence, for the practice sessions and qualifying the chances for wet conditions are rather high. Moderate to strong winds are expected with temperatures reaching 22 to 24 degrees.
Sunday will see similar weather conditions. However, the chance of rain is expected to decrease in the afternoon. It will be a cooler day with highs not climbing any higher of 20-21 degrees.
