Monza’s traditional late summer date usually means warm conditions and golden sunshine.
There should be plenty of that this weekend with temperatures expected to push towards 30C on all three days.
However the sunshine will be interrupted with occasional rain showers arriving from the west which could affect the on-track action.
Friday’s practice sessions are most likely to stay dry, with the propensity for showers set to increase over the following two days.
You can keep an eye on the potential rainfall using these weather radars and forecasts:
There will be regular updates on the track conditions during each session on F1 Fanatic Live and the F1 Fanatic Twitter account.

A torrential downpour would really liven up the grand prix. Italy 2008 was a fantastic race weekend, even if it foreshadowed a dominance not seen for a while.
