Summary
Silverstone is forecast to stay sunny and dry throughout the British Grand Prix weekend, with air temperatures peaking at 24C on Friday, 26C on Saturday and 24C on race day.
Track temperatures could climb into the low 40s each afternoon under strong sunshine, creating hotter racing conditions than the air readings suggest.
Winds are expected to stay moderate near 15 km/h on Friday and Sunday, while Saturday could turn breezier with gusts of 35-45 km/h and possibly near 50 km/h.
The stable forecast contrasts with last year's rain-hit British Grand Prix, when chaotic conditions helped Nico Hulkenberg secure his first Formula 1 podium.
