The bright lights of Las Vegas provide the backdrop for Round 21 of the 2026 Formula 1 season.

The Las Vegas Strip Circuit is known for its high-speed straights and unique backdrop, but the desert climate brings another challenge for the teams. And in 2025, rain brought an entirely different twist.

For 2026, the latest forecast points towards a largely dry weekend, with clear skies expected for much of the action. However, with temperatures potentially falling to around 10C for Saturday's Grand Prix, keeping tyres in the right operating window could be an important consideration.

So, what conditions are Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz likely to face under the Nevada lights? Here's your full weekend weather forecast…
