Climate context for 4–6 December 2026, plus the live checks that should replace it.

The seasonal baseline
December is warm and generally dry, with strong daytime sun and comfortable evenings. Shade remains limited on exposed approaches.
02
Grandstands amplify conditions
Sun, wind, rain and temperature feel different during exposed queues and long periods in one seat. Plan for the least protected part of the day.

Switch to a live forecast
Check the official forecast and alerts through race week, then again before leaving the hotel. Climate averages are not a race-day forecast.
