What's the weather forecast for the 2023 Miami Grand Prix?

Formula 1 returns to the Sunshine State this weekend for the second edition of the Miami Grand Prix. But can we expect a lot of blue skies and sunshine, or could the rain be set to make a surprise appearance?

The Miami International Autodrome played host to its first ever race last year, with Max Verstappen taking the victory ahead of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz in a pulsating affair, and the Dutch driver will be looking to make it two in a row on Sunday.
