The uncertainty of the moment it will start to rain, whether the lane will dry out quickly or whether the rain will return will end up leaving lots of luck to influence a lot of races.

I suggest that next to the current climate indicator (temperature, rain volume) have a weather forecast indicator in 5 minutes.
The certainty of the forecast and / or time could be influenced by the Technical Director. The better the TD, the more accurate the forecast and / or the faster response time.



What do you think of the idea?

iGP uses live weather from a wunderground servers, so a 5 minutes forecast is impossible.
But, there's a delay in all weather changes (it changes first in wunderground, then in iGP page, then in iGP races)

So, if you want to know when weather is about to change, use the Forecast page:

XX is race number (Australia 1, ..., Abu Dhabi 17)

Two points.


1 - wunderground is bad and often inaccurate regarding local conditions.
2 - I have seen it raining on wunderground at the start of the race and a 100% race was dry throughout.

The weather link needs serious improvement or just make it random
