Spanish Grand Prix 2022 Weather Forecast: What is the weather forecast at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya this weekend?

F1 will return to racing with Spanish Grand Prix with the FP sessions starting on Friday. Here’s the weather forecast for the weekend.

F1 will return to the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend for the sixth round of racing at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Unlike the pre-season testing in Barcelona where temperatures were in the low-to-mid-teens Celsius, this weekend’s race is set for glorious sunshine.

Several weather forecasts have predicted that there will barely be any sign of cloud across all three days. Temperatures are also predicted to be set for a very comfortable high of 23-to-24 degrees.

Ahead of the race weekend, some teams have announced that they are bringing in big upgrade packages. This could mean a much more intense battle between Ferrari and Red Bull and Mercedes joining the championship fight.
