The track is definitely wet based on your times with each compound and the setup.

Perhaps it is scattered storms and that just happens to be a dry sky moment in between.

Well greg a little bit ago the forecast showed clear as the practice window showed rain.. I have those screen shots as well.. As if the forcast is one step behind practice window.. And the screen shots were taken within seconds of eachother

Though the game may report that there is no rain currently, there is always a chance the track is wet. I've experienced this condition before.

With the magic of new iGP's lack of a HQ weather station, and surprise weather conditions different from those in practice, you have to use your gut. Always trust your gut. Or not.

Does it say sunny when your lap times in dry tyres are much slower than lap times set in pure, perfect, dry conditions? Ask your gut, and if your gut says, "I think the rain is just invisible right now. It'll suddenly show itself in the race, yeah, I'm perfectly sure" then whoa-la! Perhaps prepping a strat suitable for wet conditions could be a gamble that works. Oh! Also, I find that during conditions of invisible rain, you could stick on some ss for qualy, and if it does rain in the race and the game considers it as a race starting in wet conditions, you'll start on inters and on pole, because a bubble of perfect dry weather would have come to everyone's aid (the ss runners' aid) in qualy just moments before the invisible rain shows itself in the race. Fantastic strategic masterstroke!

Seriously though, you've got to wing it over a nice, cool drink sometimes.

Just a question,
the weather @ Weather Forecast Button at Race tab of NEXT Race doesn't use the same data from the Race weather.
I tried to refer the spectate a race for the actual water level (mm) for testing W or I there i found at the Race the water level is 3.1 mm and rain is still on where as at weather forecast its showing not raining, refer below

Im going to throw a wild guess as i haveny had much rain in the time ive playwd.. But the sun with cloudz probably means spotty rain

They use the same basic data but the different parts of the game are far from being synced and so they differ in how much they lag behind the real weather data. This even applies for the races of the different tiers so Rookie can have rain since a quarter of an hour ago and Elite is still dry.
