Rain to create havoc in Zandvoort? The weather forecast for the 2025 Dutch GP

After a three-week break, Formula 1 is finally ready to fire up the engines and return to the track for the fifteenth round of the season, taking place in the Netherlands at the Zandvoort circuit, now hosting its penultimate edition.

The anticipation is high to see who will return from the break in top form, but above all to find out whether McLaren will once again assert itself as it did in the first part of the season, or if anyone will be able to challenge the Norris-Piastri duo in their championship battle.

As every year, the weather at Zandvoort is always one to watch, with Dutch conditions capable of throwing surprises at any moment. Will we see a dry race this weekend, or will rain once again play a role, as it has often done in recent races?

According to early FIA weather report, on Friday, when the first two practice sessions take place, the risk of rain is significant, currently at more than 80% chance. Temperatures are expected to hover around 18°C in FP1 and 19-20 °C in FP2, with winds between 15 and 25 km/h.

On Saturday, when FP3 and, most importantly, qualifying take place, conditions are expected to be similar, with the chance of rain currently at more than 80%. Temperatures will lower around 16°C in FP3 and 18°C for Qualifying, as winds will be stronger, ranging from 30 to 40 km/h.

On Sunday, race day, conditions currently look very similar to Saturday, with a high chance of rain at 80%. Temperatures will remain around 20°C, with winds ranging from 20 to 30 km/h.
