Keep your expactations low, weather-wise.

Remember though: if this forecast is accurate, it'd only be about 2mm, 3mm max. And that's not a lot of rain.

Still enough to keep the cars off slicks though......

I like how the temperature doesn't see to drop below 15 deg, and there seems to be more sun. It's like my part of the UK but about 15 deg higher! We've decided to emigrate there anyway... my luck will be that they will have lost the F1 race by the time I get there...!

As has been mentioned here (and as I mentioned during free practice in the live-forum), we're only looking at around 3mm of rain around qualifying time. Half of that will be drained in the asphalt and half of that will vapor! No, I'm not sure about that, but the forecasted rain, so little of it, will not lead to very testing conditions, to say the least.
depends in what timefrasme those 3 litres per square metre fall

"My" forecast had this coming between 11-17 local, but a new update now, that says 3.9mm between 11-17, and then 7.1 between 17-23. We don't know of course, if that rainfall is going to be spread evenly across all those hours, or if it will splash down during one intense hour, in which case things will obviously be more difficult.
...but anyway, it now looks like we're in for more rain, so this should be proper inters territory, or even full wets.

These times are in GMT, i think you didn´t notice thatLooks like possible showers for FP3 and the possibility of Q1 on a damp-drying track. Might not happen but it could be a really crazy Q1 with two drivers getting knocked out with Caterham and Marrusia instead of one.

So according to the Norwegians, the rain should arrive during FP3 (14:00 local) and stay wet for Q.

yeah! so we will have dry quali and dry race!
splendid!
yeah, I'm so happy we'll have a dry qualifying in the end. I was almost crying when saw the Q was very wet and we would need to wait Sepang or longer to truely know the pecking order.
But now it seems we'll already see that in some dozen of hours
Thanks guys for the heads up in the weather predictions right now

Currently roads in Melbourne still wet from overnight rain - then again Q2 is four hours away.
Should be a crazy grid, methinks...
Looks more like Silverstone than Albert Park doesn't it?

Hmm. I thought it was going to be dry in time for Q2.
Not likely. I did post in the other thread Dry race is almost certain. Dry Qualifying is not.

#F1 #MELBOURNE Subtle shift in steering wind means circuit at imminent threat of further heavy showers. Wet/dry bias by quali is v uncertain
