Dry start in Spain but chance of rain on race day | 2012 Spanish Grand Prix weather

Jarno Trulli, Lotus, Barcelona, 2011The Spanish Grand Prix weekend will get off to a dry start but could turn wet in time for the race.

A warm, sunny day is expected for Friday practice with temperatures reaching around 25C. it will stay dry for qualifying on Saturday, with perhaps a little cloud cover, and temperatures rising another 2C.

The forecasters are becoming increasingly confident that it will rain on Sunday, but the crucial question is whether it will fall in time for the race start at 2pm local time. Increased cloud cover will reduce temperatures into the low 20C region.

It's been 16 years since the last wet Spanish Grand Prix, when Michael Schumacher scored his first of many wins for Ferrari.
