The current weather forecast for the fifth race weekend of the 2025 Formula 1 season at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
These are the crucial questions at every Formula One race weekend in 2025. Namely: What is the weather forecast? Is wet weather to be expected at the venue? Do you need intermediates or even rain tires? Or will it just stay dry from practice to qualifying to the race, making dry tires sufficient? In short, what should the drivers Nico Hülkenberg, Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton be prepared for?
To answer these questions, our editors keep a close eye on the weather at the Formula 1 venues for several days before the start of the tests or race weekends. And as the event progresses, this preview article is updated with new information about the weather, such as temperature in degrees Celsius, wind strength, cloud cover and expected precipitation for each day of the weekend.
The result is a weather forecast that is as accurate as possible for the respective Grands Prix of the 2025 Formula 1 season. However, all information is provided without guarantee, as some motorsport locations, such as Spa-Francorchamps or the Nürburgring, are known for having particularly changeable weather that cannot always be accurately predicted. There may also be unannounced precipitation there.
The next time Formula 1 takes to the track in Jeddah will be from April 18 to 20, 2025 for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the fifth race of the year.
