The weather risks could significantly impact both players and fans during the World Cup. Extreme heat poses health risks such as heat exhaustion and dehydration, especially in outdoor stadiums. Thunderstorms and tornadoes, which can develop quickly, may disrupt matches and create safety hazards. Flooding in areas like New Jersey's Meadowlands could complicate transportation and logistics. Organizers are focusing on risk management, communication, and preparedness to minimize disruptions and ensure safety. The public's inability to bring personal water bottles into venues further underscores the importance of providing sufficient hydration options.
