Formula 1 arrives in Monaco this weekend, and while the streets of Monte Carlo are famous for glamour and prestige, the weather can still have a major say in how the weekend unfolds.
Sunshine and blue skies are often part of the Monaco Grand Prix image, but the Principality has produced its fair share of unpredictable moments over the years. Sudden showers around the harbour can completely change the picture, especially on a circuit where grip, confidence and track position are everything.
Around Monaco, even the smallest change in conditions can have huge consequences. A damp qualifying session can transform the competitive order in seconds, while strategy calls on race day become even more critical when overtaking opportunities are so limited.
Sunshine in '25, but what does '26 have in store?
