Not sure if it is a bug or just game not reading the weather correctly. Raising it as an FYI, in case something needs to be fixed. Japan is raining hard at the moment, but game track shows no rain.

Additional comments:

There is a delay in game from real time weather (it’s either 15 or 30 min delay).  Would that explain the difference at start?

It would but it was pretty much real time a few weeks back. Maximum of 2 mins delay from real time weather.

It’s never been real time

I think it is 2-3 minutes,like I can give russia as an example,sochi is not a very big city and if rains in a part from a city probably in 1 minute will rain everywhere,so let's come back,i saw on open weather,im sochi was raining and in game updated like 2-3 minutes after

I was talking about Red Craigie said,l mean the weather is took from somewhere near the track or the city if is street circuit,and i mean it can say is raining on the links,but if the game is not using the weather from the places we have and i think is better to watch the radar from their site,because if you see a big zone where is raining you will knowit will start in the game soon ,but if is only something small it can rain only in the zone where the station is and you can't be sure if will rain in game or not.Probably it was just for me,but when i saw on openweather there is raining or rain is expected in 1-5 minutes it started like 2 minutes after i saw it.And i think that's the normal time 2-3 posible 4 minutes and if is taking so long to update in game is just something that happens very rare and that's all

Why do we bother with real time weather just use computer generated weather like GPRO does at least you would know whether  the start of the race is wet or dry.

Noooooo!!!!
