The Norway national football team may face heavy rain and thunderstorms in the World Cup match against Senegal in New York. Meteorologist Patrick Stoll does not rule out heavy rain or thunderstorms. There is a high chance that it will be very wet, says Stoll. The temperatures are expected to be around 25 degrees, combined with high humidity and the risk of heavy rain showers. The biggest concern is not necessarily the rain, but the risk of thunderstorms. According to Stoll, lightning activity near the stadium can have direct consequences for the game. There are rules that there should be no thunderstorms during the game. In the World Cup in the USA, strict safety rules apply in case of thunderstorms. If the strongest gusts hit the stadium area, there can be significant rainfall in a short time. It can be around 15 to 20 millimeters in an hour. We would have issued a warning for heavy rain here if it had hit Norway, says Stoll. The meteorologist emphasizes that there are still several days until the game starts, and that small changes in the low-pressure track can have a significant impact. If the low-pressure system moves 100 kilometers, it can suddenly be completely different conditions. But with today's forecasts, the message is clear: There is a possibility that it will pour down. The Norway national football team must be prepared for all possible weather conditions during the World Cup match. It is essential to have a good strategy for handling rain and thunderstorms. The team must also be aware of the strict safety rules that apply during the World Cup in the USA. It is not without reason that the game between Chelsea and Benfica was stopped five minutes before the end due to thunderstorms during the club World Cup in the USA last year. The teams had to wait for nearly two hours before the game could continue. The Norway national football team must be well prepared to face Senegal in a game that can be very challenging due to the weather conditions.
