BBC are playing the “it’s too hot” for the World Cup game
Climate alarmist BBC are at their usual game of scaring people. Paul Homewood reports on the latest as a heatwave reaches the football World Cup in the US:
A prolonged and dangerous heatwave will intensify across a swathe of the US this week, ushering in scorching daytime heat, high humidity and stifling overnight temperatures, forecasters predict.
Some 120 million people, external nationwide are under an extreme heat warning as of Tuesday, as Americans head into the Fourth of July holiday weekend, the National Weather Service (NWS) said.
The heatwave is forecast to hit a large area of the country, from the US east coast to central areas of the country. Starting on Thursday, about 250 million people will be exposed to some dangerous level of heat, according to weather forecasters.
The extreme temperatures caused by a heat dome, will peak in the Midwest and Mississippi Valley by Thursday, the NWS predicted.
It will shift east into the Ohio Valley and East Coast on Thursday and into the holiday weekend, according to the weather service.
Temperatures ranging from 95F-105F combined with high humidity will bring the heat index to 100F-115F.
Daily temperature records are expected to be broken on Thursday and Friday, with some monthly and all-time records possible.
Officials are warning people living in the affected areas to limit time outdoors, stay hydrated and ensure access to air conditioning or cooling centres.
New York City Mayor Zohran (Marxist) Mamdani activated a heat emergency plan with hundreds of cooling centres set to open across the city on Wednesday.
Detroit, Michigan, where temperatures could reach 100F, opened a dozen recreation centres with air conditioning for residents to cool down.
With the intense weather, some World Cup matches could have heat indexes exceeding the threshold where global players’ union Fifpro considers conditions to be too unsafe for play.
The hottest weather will be in Texas, which will mostly hit fans travelling to and from the air-conditioned stadiums in Houston and Arlington.
This may also be the case for the England v DR Congo match on Wednesday in Atlanta, Georgia.

Temperatures of 100F occur most years in New York. They are not in the least unusual:
In Atlanta, when England played yesterday, temperatures hit only 95F, well below the usual summer peaks:
In Texas, where Ben Rich says the weather will be “hottest”, this week will be well below the usual summer peaks of 105f and more – the record in Dallas stands at 112F and was set in 1980:
So far this summer, daily :temperatures in Dallas have been pretty much average
American summers are much more predictable than in the UK, which are affected by the vagaries of weather off the Atlantic. In the US, summers are long and dry and hot.
In a month long World Cup, it is highly likely that a heatwave will come along at some stage.
Knowing all of this, the BBC resort to the fraudulent “heat index”, to make people believe something extraordinary is going on.
The heat index, of course, factors in humidity, but has no basis is science – it is simply a made-up index. Apparently we never had humidity before!
