Friday was extremely hot, and it seemed to cool down during Q2 today, it felt like an eclipse just having that little bit of shade… soon as we left the track it started to rain (roughly 3pmish)
still not sure on the race day though, the news on tv (from what i can understand) is that it will be slightly cooler, and possible chance of rain and they’re saying between 2-4… so itll either be before or during the race if any rain.

Clearly, a wet weekend plays to the hands of Red Bull. Their car puts more heat into the tires than anyone else’s, which is the key in the wet.

McLaren should go well if they’ve truly fixed their aero issues. KERS will still be an advantage in the wet, but the drivers would have to apply it differently. Macca seem to do a better job than Brawn, for instance, at getting heat into the tires.

If it is indeed a wet weekend, look for a team to gamble like Toro Rosso did last year and bring a high-downforce setting on the car. That will make all the difference in the world.

nope the BBC now says ‘Heavy Rain Shower’ for Saturday and Sunday! (and Mon, Tue…) http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/5006

MSN predicts Rain on saturday with a chance on sunday
http://weather.msn.com/tenday.aspx?wealocations=wc:ITXX0049

most other sites just predict heavy cloud with a small chance of rain.

Italian forecast is good enough.
I usually check three websites:

http://meteolive.leonardo.it/meteo-citta/meteo_monza
http://www.ilmeteo.it/meteo/Monza+e+Brianza
http://www.meteo.it/previsioni/Monza/istat-109033

I think that the first and the second are most reliable.
