A warm and sunny day has greeted the formula one world ahead of the 2010 Monaco grand prix.
There is just a smattering of white cloud in the sky, and still the odd local forecast predicting a slight possibility of afternoon rain.
Causing more nervousness than the Monte Carlo forecasts, however, are reports that say the Icelandic volcano ash cloud is "rapidly encroaching" British airspace.
Airports in Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man have already closed, and officials are warning that flights into England and other parts of Europe are also set to be disrupted in the coming days.
