Rain and Spa-Francorchamps usually go hand in hand, just like Rolls and Royce. This coming weekend, too, Formula 1 drivers must brace themselves for unpredictable weather.

We can count on one hand the number of weekends when the racing community in Belgium has managed to stay dry: the changeable weather in the Ardennes is notorious.

And so, once again, things are set to be a bit of a madhouse at the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.

From the hot summer weather most of us have become accustomed to in recent weeks, conditions on Friday (17 July) will see increasing cloud cover, with a high probability of thunderstorms in the afternoon.

On Saturday, 18 July, the chance of rain will ease off, with temperatures dropping to just 22 degrees. For the Grand Prix (19 July), any further showers are not expected until after the race. But with this Ardennes classic, you can never be entirely sure.
