Rain is not a common sight at a Formula One race weekend. In fact, you can usually count on two hands the number of times it’s rained during the season. However, even in a climate like that, rain can be a tricky thing to predict. It’s not uncommon for there to be a brief shower on the morning of a race weekend, but if you’re hoping for a wet race day it’s best to get ready for disappointment.For the average rainfall during a Formula One weekend we’re talking about around 0.5 inches, or around 12mm. This means that even on the driest of weekends, there’s very little chance of a wet race day. If you’re planning to attend a race weekend as a fan, it’s not something you should worry about too much. If you’re attending as a photographer, however, it’s something worth keeping in mind when planning your gear setup. Here’s what you need to know about rain during a Formula One race weekend…
In recent years, the amount of information available to fans has increased significantly thanks to the rise of social media and smartphone apps. This means that you can easily find out what the weather forecast looks like for the weekend. If there’s a chance of rain, you can also check the probability of that rain turning into a downpour.If you’re attending a race as a photographer, you’ll want to take note of the forecast. You’ll want to know what the chance of rain is, and what the expected amount of rain is, if it does rain. If there’s a high chance of rain, you’ll want to make sure you have plenty of protection for your gear. If the weather forecast indicates that it’s going to be a rainy weekend, you’ll want to be sure to pack your rain cover and plastic bags.
Rain isn’t something that you can usually prepare for. You can’t bring a tarp with you to cover your gear and protect it from the rain. Instead, you should focus on protecting your gear with plastic bags. Plastic bags are cheap and easy to find in most parts of the world. A few plastic bags should be enough to cover your camera bag and any other equipment you’re carrying around.If you’re shooting with a DSLR, you should also make sure that you have a rain cover. DSLR rain covers are usually a bit more expensive than plastic bags, but they’re definitely worth the investment. The difference between a DSLR rain cover and a plastic bag is that a rain cover will keep water out, even when you turn it inside out. This means that if you use a plastic bag to protect your gear, you’ll have to keep turning it inside out whenever you get a bit of rain.
If you’re going to be shooting at an outdoor location, you’ll want to pack plastic bags as soon as you get to the location. If you have to walk through a muddy area, plastic bags will help protect your equipment from the mud.If you’re shooting indoors, you won’t have to worry about mud, but you will need to pack plastic bags if there’s a chance of rain. If you’re shooting indoors, you’ll want to bring a few plastic bags, and then put them inside your camera bag. This will protect your camera bag from the rain. If you have a tripod with you, you can also cover it with a plastic bag.
Rain covers are best used when the weather forecast indicates that it’s going to rain hard. If the forecast indicates that it’s going to be a rainy weekend, but there’s a chance that it might just be a light drizzle, you should probably use plastic bags instead of a rain cover.If you’re shooting indoors, you don’t need to worry about a heavy downpour. You can use a plastic bag to protect your gear, and then remove it as soon as the rain stops.If you’re shooting outdoors, you’ll want to use a rain cover as soon as the rain starts. You don’t want to wait too long before putting your rain cover on, because the rain will quickly get inside the cover and get your gear wet. If you have a rain cover, you can also use it as a makeshift shelter in case of sudden downpours.
Rain is not something you can usually prepare for, but it’s something you should always be prepared for. If the forecast indicates that it’s going to rain, you should always have a plastic bag to cover your gear, and a rain cover if you want to be extra cautious. If the forecast indicates that it’s going to be a rainy weekend, you should also make sure that you’re covered with a roof to protect you from the rain.Rain is not an uncommon thing at a Formula One race weekend, but it’s not something you should get used to. If there’s a chance of rain, you should always be prepared. You should have a plastic bag to cover your gear, and a rain cover if you want to be extra cautious.
