Weather report - European GP.

Monaco lived up to its reputation as one of the more pleasant grands prix weather-wise, but this weekend's trip to the Nurburgring for the European Grand Prix takes place a week earlier than in 2003, increasing the potential for rain, wind - and snow?

Koblenz, Germany

Friday
Mainly dry, fine and settled day with good spells of sunshine from the morning, continuing all the way through until evening. Cloud will build slowly in the afternoon, albeit not threatening any shower activity. Light breezes will keep temperatures to a high of 20C / 68F. Zero per cent risk of precipitation.

Saturday

Sunday
To complete the set, it looks like being another dry and fine day with more sunshine.
