England are set to face Ghana at the Gillette Stadium tonight, and after Monday’s France vs Iraq match was delayed for over two hours due to severe weather, fans are paying close attention to forecasts ahead of kick-off.

The 2026 World Cup has already been marked by discussions about high temperatures, prompting the introduction of hydration breaks to help players cope with the heat. However, it is not just the heat that has caused concern—extreme weather struck Philadelphia earlier in the week when torrential rain and thunderstorms interrupted the France vs Iraq encounter.

Now, attention turns to Boston, where England’s clash with Ghana is scheduled to take place. According to reports, the city is expected to experience rain and possible thunderstorms tonight, raising questions about whether the match might suffer similar delays.

National Weather Service meteorologist Rob Megnia has provided an update, confirming that showers and some thunder are likely, but reassured supporters that officials are “not overly concerned” about the conditions. He added that while there could be some wet spells, the overall situation should not cause any major disruption to the fixture.

Weather forecasts indicate that Boston will remain warm and humid, with daytime temperatures hovering in the low 70s Fahrenheit before cooling to the 50s at night. It is estimated that up to an inch and a half of rain could fall over the course of the match, but this level of precipitation is not expected to halt play.

The England vs Ghana tie remains on schedule, and while fans may need to pack rain gear, the match should proceed without the dramatic delays witnessed earlier in the tournament.
