Weather for the "Monegasque" Grand Prix the "Crown Jewel" of the Formula 1 season....
Friday
Starting on Friday, the weather is expected to be sunny all day according to the BBC with a slight breeze emanating from the south-west. Temperatures are likely be very consistent, ranging between 21 and 22 degrees Celsius.
With a 3 per cent chance of precipitation throughout Friday's tack time, it appears as though these wet weather tyres will remain under blankets for the foreseeable.
Thursday could bring rain and some thundery showers but with glorious temperatures predicted on Friday, the track should have had time to dry out.
Saturday
Saturday represents virtually no change from Friday with the lovely summery temperatures set to continue.
Once again, temperatures will remain consistent between 21 and 22 Celsius with very little prospect of disruption during the all-important qualifying session. It is the one where you need to be a the front and these conditions look like they will provide us with no jumbled-up grid.
The wind direction is slightly altered so that it is coming from the south, but it is set to be very light. With regards to rain, the chances rise to 8 per cent, so it will still be of very little concern to team bosses.
Sunday
Race day is also primed to be completely unaffected by any errant weather conditions which will be music to the eras of those who qualify at the front of the grid.
Temperatures are set to remain around 22 Celsius for the start time of 2pm and gentle winds will come from the south.
If that wasn't enough, then current forecasts estimate a ZERO per cent chance of rain for the whole of Sunday.
