2026 Hungarian Grand Prix: Weather Forecast

The 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix, marking the 11th race of the season, is gearing up at the Hungaroring just before the summer break. As drivers and teams prepare for the weekend, they can expect primarily dry weather, a continuation of Europe's recent warm spell.

Last year's event saw Lando Norris clinch victory in a nail-biting finish, narrowly beating his teammate. This year, the forecast suggests the dry conditions might return, with no rain disrupting the race weekend.

Weekend Weather Forecast

The skies will be partly cloudy, and the track could heat up to 40-45°C, setting the stage for an ideal start to the weekend.

**Saturday, July 25 - Final Practice and Qualifying** Saturday promises a lovely day with temperatures peaking at 29°C and a low of 15°C. With clear skies and high pressure over the area, no rain is expected. Light winds will keep conditions stable, though track temperatures could climb to 48-50°C, adding a layer of complexity to tire management.

**Sunday, July 26 - Race Day** Sunday's race day will be warm and slightly humid, with temperatures between 20°C and 32°C. The track might see temperatures soar to about 50°C. While there's a 40% chance of rain after 3 PM, it's unlikely to affect the race itself, as any rain is expected to arrive post-race.
