Abu Dhabi will see temperatures in excess of 30C on all three days of the race weekend.
However with the crucial qualifying and race sessions being held in the evening, teams will keep a close eye on how the track temperature falls as it goes dark.
Air temperatures will remain well above 20C even as night falls at the circuit when the cars are in action.
At present Sunday is set to be the hottest of the three days. Sunset will begin at 5:30pm local time, half an hour after the race starts.
'The most special thing about this event is the fact we race in the dusk,' explained Sauber's head of track engineering Giampaolo Dall'Ara. 'This requires us to adapt some of our work, especially in free practice one and three when it's very hot.
'Free practice two is of particular importance because then the conditions are those that are most comparable to the ones we will experience in qualifying and the race.'
There will be regular updates on the track conditions during each session on F1 Fanatic Live and the F1 Fanatic Twitter account.
