Wind speeds average 17 km/h during race hours, with peak gusts reaching 26 km/h in challenging years. Humidity sits around 80%, and there is a 30% chance of rain on race day.
These conditions translate to an estimated pace impact of +3.0% compared to ideal running conditions. For a 4-hour marathoner, that means roughly 7 minutes slower than a perfect-weather day.
