Especially when these gases come from the side, it can have some influence during the race.

Just after the weekend rain

Clouds will increase further from Monday and an active area of ​​rain from the west will continue. That won’t be the case until Monday evening or Tuesday. Then the monthly amount of rainfall falls immediately within a short period of time (i.e. more than 60 mm), causing localized flooding.
