Six host cities \u2014 including Miami, Houston, Dallas, Monterrey, Kansas City, and Atlanta \u2014 are expected to experience high temperatures, with the Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) projected to reach 32\u00b0C or higher during midday hours.<\/span><\/p>\n This level of heat is considered an indicator of severe heat stress, as the body faces significant difficulty maintaining its normal temperature.<\/span><\/p>\n To reduce risks, most World Cup matches will be held outside peak heat hours<\/a>, with many games scheduled in the evening or late afternoon. For example, the Group F match between Scotland and Brazil in Miami will kick off at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time.<\/span><\/p>\n Some stadiums, such as those in Houston and Dallas, are also equipped with retractable roofs and climate-control systems to help reduce the impact of weather conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n Heat waves during the summer are a recurring phenomenon in North America and Mexico, where temperatures may rise more than 10\u00b0C above seasonal averages, making conditions more challenging for both players and fans.<\/span><\/p>\n
