England’s World Cup quarter-final against Norway is scheduled to take place in Miami at 5pm local time (10pm UK time), but multiple reports say the match could be delayed due to extreme heat. South Florida authorities issue a “major heat risk” warning ahead of kick-off. Forecast conditions cited by outlets indicate temperatures may rise to around 29–32°C by the time the game starts. They also report a “real feel” temperature that could reach up to about 44°C, suggesting heat stress risk for players, staff, and spectators.
The reports also note concerns about potential disruption from the weather. While the coverage focuses primarily on heat, it frames the possibility that officials may need to adjust scheduling or procedures depending on conditions observed close to kick-off. No confirmed delay is reported in the sources, only that forecasts and the warning raise the likelihood of contingency planning ahead of the match.
