A pleasant temperature
of around 19°C welcomed the Formula 1 drivers to Melbourne, Australia on March
15. This weekend the Formula 1 - cars fight for the victory in Sepang,
Malaysia. UBIMET’s meteorologists are already at the circuit. Will the weather
provide any surprises this weekend?
Vienna, March 26, 2015 The first races of the season are always challenging for
everybody”, says Steffen
Dietz, meteorologist at UBIMET, “we are relieved that the
weather in Melbourne was stable with just single clouds occasionally disturbing
the sunshine.”
The race teams, the organizers, the visitors –
it is important for everyone to know what the weather will be like.
Since the southeast Asian state has a tropical-moist rainforest climate, the weather in Malaysia is more unsettled.
For March, the statistics show an average of about 22 days with rain. Even though
the rain showers are usually not long lasting, they are often intense.
Optimized weather
forecasts – even for difficult climate zones
So the weather conditions in Malaysia are hardly
comparable with the conditions in Australia. Beside the rain, the teams and
drivers also have to handle the high temperature.
So the feedback from the teams and the
Fédération International de l’Automobile (FIA) is especially important in this
area.
Thanks to the close cooperation with the FIA and
the teams, UBIMET has been able to optimize their already precise weather
forecasts even further: “The feedback from all participants is always important
for us”, says Dietz.
Around one ton of
equipment
After Lewis Hamilton's clear victory in
Melbourne, the Formula 1 extravaganza arrives at Sepang, Malaysia. The UBIMET
team is also already on site. The team – and around one ton of equipment: “Our
gear includes weather radar, track sensors, several servers, etc.”, says Dietz.
With the help of all this technology, Steffen
Dietz and the UBIMET team are watching over the weather conditions in Malaysia.
On Sunday more stable conditions are expected, but on Friday and Saturday,
thundery showers are possible.
