Canada: Definitely hot and sticky, but wet too?

Montreal could well throw up another unpredictable race, although it's more likely we'll see normal service resumed. It's going to be hot and sticky while Honda Racing F1's Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello race round the circuit, as temperatures reach 32°C with humidity at 70%.

As the day progresses, the chance of some thundery showers passing by increases, rising from a 10% chance in the morning up to a 65% chance by the end of the day. That basic pattern is the same on Saturday, so qualifying will probably also remain dry, but there's always a risk that the rain will fall.

Right now it's 5:30am in Montreal. And raining.
