The live forecast above shows the current conditions at Hungaroring; for the race weekend, expect warm, dry weather typical of a Hungarian summer, with temperatures often reaching the high 20s Celsius and a low risk of thunderstorms.
What is the typical weather for the Hungarian Grand Prix?
The Hungarian Grand Prix in late July usually brings hot, sunny weather to the Mogyoród circuit. Afternoon temperatures frequently climb above 30°C, making it one of the hottest races on the F1 calendar. Humidity can be high, and brief, sharp thunderstorms are possible in the late afternoon.
- Average high: 28–32°C during the race weekend.
- Rain probability: Low, but isolated afternoon storms can occur.
- Track temperature: Often exceeds 50°C, affecting tyre degradation.
How does the weather affect the race?
High track temperatures at Hungaroring make rear tyre management critical, as the circuit is tight and twisty with little high-speed airflow for cooling. A sudden downpour can dramatically shift strategy, but the circuit drains well, so standing water is rarely an issue.
- Teams typically opt for the hardest tyre compounds due to heat.
- Overtaking is difficult; weather changes can create the main strategic variable.
