The weather between England and Mexico does not look good. With less than 2 hours left before kick-off at 01.00 BST / at 18.00 in Mexico, a “shelter-in-place order at Azteca Stadium” has been issued due to “severe weather”.
England’s World Cup match could be delayed as supporters, who were asked to arrive two hours before kick-off, have been warned to remain in the Azteca grounds.
Earlier today, experts predicted a 63% chance of thunderstorms around Azteca. But it’s not the rain that can delay England against Mexico – lightning.
If strikers move within 8 miles of the stadium, FIFA security protocols could see England’s round of 16 match stopped for at least 30 minutes.
The track was temporarily closed following an electrical storm earlier today at 12.00pm BST, so stay with us as we keep a close eye on the England v Mexico weather and kick-off time…
