Storms affect the New York area, disrupting travel and local activity roughly a day before the World Cup final. Reports say heavy rain falls in a short period, contributing to flash flooding that brings parts of the city to a standstill. The weather system also brings risks beyond flooding, including possible tornadoes in parts of New Jersey and strong winds. One report states rainfall reaches up to around three inches within an hour, and wind speeds may exceed roughly 65 miles per hour. The conditions are described as worsening threats for ongoing flooding as the storms continue. The impact on events and schedules is also noted, with Spain’s last training session reported as cancelled due to the severe weather.
