Well, well, well! If you’re planning to watch the 2024 Austrian Grand Prix, you best keep an eye on the weather, ’cause it’s gonna be a bit of this and a bit of that, just like a good old summer’s day in the village. You know, sometimes it’s sunny, sometimes it’s windy, and sometimes you’re just waiting for the rain to show up, but it don’t. So, here’s what the weather’s lookin’ like for the big weekend out there at the Red Bull Ring in Austria. It ain’t no surprise, but it’ll still make ya want to keep your hat on.
For starters, the weather’s gonna be hot—yep, you heard that right. They’re sayin’ it could go up to around 28°C on some of them days. Ain’t that somethin’? So, for all you folks goin’ out there, better bring a bottle of water and a nice shade hat, ‘cause it’s gonna feel like a furnace out there on that track, specially when the sun’s up high. Don’t forget your sunscreen, either. The sun there don’t mess around.

But don’t get too comfy now! The forecast says there’ll be a gusty westerly wind blowing during the day. Now, if you’ve ever been out in the country on a windy day, you know that wind can be a real game changer. One minute it’s calm, the next it knocks your hat off and blows dust all over your face. So, be prepared for that, especially when you’re watchin’ them race cars zooming around the track.
When it comes to the race day, the temperature’s gonna settle down a little bit, around 27°C. Still warm enough to make you sweat, but at least it ain’t 30, right? So, it’ll be a good day for the race, but you’ll still be needing some sunblock if you’re standin’ out there in the stands.
Now, the rain… Well, rain ain’t looking like much of a concern this time around. The chance of rain’s pretty low, which is a blessing if you ask me! Ain’t nobody wants to watch those cars slip and slide in the mud, and the drivers don’t want it neither. So, lucky for them and lucky for us, it looks like it’ll stay dry—just a little bit hot, and a little bit breezy. Good enough for a nice race, don’t you think?
Looking a little ahead, the weather’s gonna start changin’ come October, with them cooler temperatures coming in. October in Austria is gonna see a big drop, with temps likely hangin’ around the 5°C to 15°C range. It’s the kind of weather where you’ll need a good warm coat if you’re out exploring Vienna or Salzburg. Those places, they’re beautiful, but cold as ice in the fall, so don’t go thinking you can walk around in your summer dress like it’s July! You’ll freeze, I promise you that.
But, for the race weekend itself, it looks like it’s gonna be all about that heat and wind. Good thing the folks in Austria know how to handle a bit of warm weather, though, and the race organizers are ready to give us a show no matter what the sky’s got in store.
If you’re planning to watch the race, remember it’s gonna be broadcast live on Sky Sports F1 and Sky Sports Main Event, so you can catch all the action from the comfort of your own home. Pre-race coverage starts around 12:30pm BST on Sky Sports F1, and the race itself will kick off at 2:00pm BST. But don’t be late, ya hear? Ain’t no time to waste when them cars take off! The excitement’s gonna be hotter than that day at the market, I’ll tell you that much.

So, that’s the lowdown on the weather for the 2024 Austrian Grand Prix. Keep your eyes on the sky, pack your sunscreen, and get ready for some fast, thrilling racing in that hot, breezy Austrian summer. It’s gonna be a race to remember, folks!
