When looking at the forecast around the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens for the FIFA World Cup match between Saudi Arabia and Uruguay, there is potential for showers and thunderstorms mainly after 5 p.m. The game kicks off at 6 p.m., and rain should be short-lived. Per the NWS, the chance of precipitation is 70%.
If you’re planning to be outdoors today, there’s no better time to take the following precautions: stay hydrated, limit strenuous activity during the hottest hours, seek air-conditioned spaces whenever possible, wear light-weight clothing and check in on neighbors, older adults and anyone who may be particularly vulnerable to the heat.
The heat is expected to remain all week. Stay cool and up-to-date with the NWS via X and their website!
