The Chinese Grand Prix is set to avoid a major rain threat in the Shanghai area RacingNews365 weather partner, WearOnline.
In southeastern China, heavy rain is expected over the weekend, with the possibility of thunderstorms, and the threat of local flood warnings.
On Sunday, a widespread rainstorm is scheduled to move northeast toward Shanghai, but appears to miss the city.
Race day will be dry with sunshine in the morning, but will turn cloudy by race time, which is 3pm local time.
However, if the rain moves northwards, it could impact the race, with temperatures around 20 degrees and weak to moderate winds from the north – which translates into crosswinds from the left along the pit straight.
