Formula 1 takes a break in its European tour to stop in Montreal. If the city has experienced a strong heatwave with temperatures exceeding 30\u00b0C in recent days, rain and wind seem to be willing to join for this weekend.<\/p>\n
Environment Canada has already issued a severe thunderstorm watch for Montreal for this Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Conditions are conducive to the formation of dangerous thunderstorms that can produce strong gusts and heavy rain this afternoon and early this evening, says the meteorological forecasting website.<\/p>\n
Showers are then expected all weekend with a rain risk of about 70% on Friday and Saturday. These unstable conditions should also affect Sunday. The chances of witnessing the first race in the rain of 2023 are therefore very high.<\/p>\n
In addition to this wet weather, the wind will also play a part at the Gilles Villeneuve circuit. A southwest wind will blow moderately at the beginning of the weekend and gusts of up to 35km\/h are expected for Sunday.<\/p>\n
Following the modernization of the new paddock inaugurated for the 2019 edition of the Canadian GP, the track was entirely resurfaced in the fall of 2023. A drainage system has also been improved and redesigned, which could prove very useful as soon as this weekend, to handle these unstable weather conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
