Abu Dhabi weather update: What's in store for Sunday's race?

Sunday's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be run in warm and dry conditions typical of the Middle East in November.

As with previous editions of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Sunday's race at the Yas Marina Circuit will be run in warm and dry conditions, with no chance of rain. According to our friends at WeerOnline.nl , the circuit will see highs of 29 degrees Celsius on Sunday, cooling to around 27 degrees by the time the race starts at 17:00 local time. Track temperatures may rise to around 50 degrees, but will cool considerably over the course of the race. A moderate northeasterly wind will be blowing in from the Persian Gulf which may present a challenge for the drivers, given modern F1 cars' sensitivity to wind. There have been no wet races at Yas Marina ever since the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix first appeared on the F1 calendar in 2009.
