Will the Australian weather play a part in Melbourne this weekend?

Round 3 of the 2023 Formula 1 season sees the longest journey of the year, with Melbourne on hosting duties for F1's 36th Australian Grand Prix.
While our Middle Eastern adventures in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia had us enjoy the spectacle of seeing the FW45 under the night sky, it will be an all-daytime affair Down Under.
Every session of the Australian Grand Prix will see an evolving track as partly cloudy conditions allow the 5.278 km Albert Park Circuit time to heat up and cool down in otherwise unseasonably low temperatures.
The Aussie autumn might even see some rainfall over the Grand Prix weekend, with Friday afternoon looking most likely to see showers.
