World Cup cities adapt as extreme heat increases before tournament

World Cup host cities are facing significantly higher temperatures compared to past tournaments, prompting organizers to adjust event planning. A Climate Central analysis indicates that cities like Miami and Mexico City now experience five times more extremely hot days in June and July since the last World Cups. To manage this heat, Miami is implementing hydration and cooling stations at venues. Other host cities are also adapting, indicating a broader need for infrastructure resilience. The summer tournament will see these measures in effect during the matches.
