A meteorologist has warned of a potential "killer storm" that might affect the World Cup game tonight at Mexico City, and he found it "bizarre" that the England vs Mexico game has not been moved earlier due to weather conditions. Weather forecaster John Kettley was asked if the weather would affect the last-16 clash, and he did not have good news.
There had been confusion over a potential change of kick-off time to 6pm BST, which was originally scheduled at 1am BST on Monday, July 6 (6pm local time Sunday). FIFA later confirmed that Mexico vs England is to go ahead at the initial kick-off time.
John told presenter Dawn Neesom: "It is a very bizarre situation, really, because they often play the matches at midday for obvious reasons. The storms tend to gather as the afternoon heat develops. A typical temperature in Mexico City would be about 24 to 25 degrees, and that is certainly high enough to trigger these thunderstorms, which we are expecting.
"It is a 90 per cent chance of a storm at some point during the day. But if they start the game at our time, say 6pm, that would have negated most of the problems. Yesterday, there were no storms around that time. And if they caught a storm after the game, and perhaps the situation would have been not so serious.
"But there is a very high risk of a storm, we know that, and these are killer storms. You can't belittle these storms in Central America. They are pretty violent affairs, and they can go on for an hour or two; they self-perpetuate. They are 7,200 ft above sea level, and it's very humid there, so they are proper storm, not the little ones we get sometimes in this country."
Other than the weather, the England football team also have to acclimate to altitude. England manager Thomas Tuchel spoke on Saturday about how his players have reacted to the altitude in Mexico City: "We feel it even if we don't train. I felt, for example, a slight headache in the hotel room throughout the day. I didn't sleep as well as the days before. But nothing you can't handle and you can't adapt to.
"The players felt it in the first minutes of the training session. And the longer it went on, the better they could cope with it. It's just what it is. We cannot physically adapt, it's just impossible. But we are here one day before to experience it, at least."
If England beat Mexico, and then win their quarter-final game with Brazil or Norway, they will play one of the winning four teams in the semi-final on Wednesday, 15 July, at 20:00 BST in Atlanta.
And if England reach the final, they will play the winner of the other group on Sunday, 19 July, at 20:00 BST in New Jersey.
