The F1 2026 championship returns for the 10th round at Spa this weekend for the Belgian Grand Prix.

Though last year's race in the Ardennes Forest hosted a sprint, this year will see the return of the regular grand prix schedule.

That means the weather could play a pivotal role in Saturday's one and only qualifying session and of course, in the results of Sunday's race.

As is the case every time we go racing at Spa-Francorchamps, all eyes will be on the weather and the chance of rain given that the unforgiving classic circuit is no stranger to an unpredictable forecast.

This brings additional demands to teams this weekend on top of the challenges they will face from an energy management perspective, with drivers having to go up against the highly testing track and that requires confidence in the car, something which the presence of rain would make challenging, particularly around the very high-speed corners.

So, is rain on the cards? Let's take a look at how the weather might impact this weekend's F1 action.

Sunday, July 19: Belgian Grand Prix

Sunday sees the main event of the weekend take place, and it will also be the coolest day of the entire weekend.

Lights out for the Belgian Grand Prix will be at 3pm local time (CEST), by which time temperatures will have settled at 20 degrees Celsius under heavily clouded skies.

The sun might make an appearance in the second hour of the race, but this is unlikely to affect the temperature on what is a cooler day than Saturday's qualifying session.

The 44-lap race will see drivers contend with 43 per cent humidity levels, while gentle wind speeds of 10mph represent the highest speeds that we have seen throughout the entire weekend.

There is a zero per cent chance of rain, despite Sunday set to be the cloudiest of the three days.
