CHENNAI: Just as the World Cup seems to be coming alive, a familiar enemy could halt the excitement. Rain is forecast for much of England over the next few days before a heatwave is expected to take over after a few days. According to the Independent, “up to a month’s worth of rain is predicted to hit areas of Britain early next week (...) .
Following downpours across much of the country between Sunday and Tuesday, humid weather across the south of England on Thursday will send temperatures rocketing as high as 34 degrees Celsius, forecasters said.” From an Indian perspective, there is no imminent threat of rain in Manchester on Thursday but the pitch could be damp as rain is forecast till Wednesday morning.
