F1 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix weather forecast - latest from Nevada

F1 returns to the entertainment capital of the world this weekend for the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix, which also kicks off the final triple-header of the season.

After a thrilling Brazilian GP last time out, McLaren star Lando Norris has a slightly firmer grip on the drivers' championship, but with three rounds to go, there is still time for Oscar Piastri or Max Verstappen to usurp him.

Norris has a 24-point lead over Piastri and a 49-point advantage over Verstappen. The reigning champion sits down in third just 25 points behind Norris’ Aussie team-mate, but the Dutchman’s chances of retaining the title could be erased if he fails to pick up enough points this weekend when racing on the Vegas strip.

And Norris is starting the race from pole with Verstappen in second, after a brilliant qualifying session for the Brit. Piastri will be starting all the way down in fifth, as his poor form continued.

To complicate things even further this weekend, the time difference between GMT and PST means that the F1 race weekend schedule is all happening a day earlier than fans may be used to in local time.

So, how will the weather forecast impact the Saturday night race?

F1 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix weather forecast

Southern Nevada experienced some extreme weather in the days leading up to F1's return to the street circuit, but the race weekend itself hasn't been affected by the flooding from earlier in the week.

Below is the full weather report ahead of this year's Saturday night race on the Las Vegas strip.

Saturday, November 22 (Race)

This year's Las Vegas GP exhibits the quirk of being the only full-length race on the 2025 calendar to take place on a Saturday!

Lights out is 8pm local time (PST), and, following a Thursday in which we saw light drizzle and a Friday in which qualifying was played out in wet conditions, we may see clear skies for the main event!

The chance of rain at the start of the main event in Vegas is currently sat at zero per cent, with temperatures forecast to be slightly warmer than qualifying on Friday at 14 degrees Celsius.

That zero per cent chance of precipitation remains throughout the race distance, but there is rain around earlier in the evening, around 6/7pm. This may just lead to a damp track to start, especially with the temperatures so cool.

The previous two modern editions of the Las Vegas GP have been won by Verstappen and Mercedes star George Russell, and the Silver Arrows will be hopeful that they can take advantage of the consistently cooler conditions once again this weekend following on from their double podium with Russell and Lewis Hamilton at the 2024 race.

As the forecast continues to change, GPFans will provide daily updates on the conditions, so be sure to come back to this page before race day to find out the latest weather updates!
