2026 World Cup travel guide: What weather and temperature can England fans expect?

England have reached the semi-finals at World Cup 2026 after squeezing past Norway to set up a showdown against Lionel Messi's Argentina on Wednesday.

The intensity of the conditions seemed to have an impact on the quarter-final, which saw both teams deliver uncharacteristically slow performances, and fans will naturally be wondering what awaits when the Three Lions head to Mercedes-Benz Stadium this week.

Thomas Tuchel's side have already overcome a variety of difficult conditions, ranging from extreme heat to lightning storms and high altitude.

Here, Football Ground Guide takes a look at what weather and temperature England supporters can expect ahead of the semi-final against Argentina.

England 2026 World Cup Group Stage weather and temperature

England began the summer tournament playing Croatia on June 17 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, before heading to Gillette Stadium in Boston to face Ghana on June 23, and then closing out against Panama at the MetLife Stadium in New York City on June 27.

Dallas is cooler than many expect, averaging 16°C with an average rainfall of five days, which should feel comfortable for many travelling fans.

Boston offers mild summer conditions, averaging 24°C with around eight days of average rainfall per month. New York is slightly warmer at 27°C, but it can be wetter, averaging the most rain of any host venue (13 days a month).

Heat and humidity: A brutal knockout route

England are going to have to overcome some brutal conditions if they are to reach the final in New Jersey.

In the round of 16, the weather was the least of their worries, as the issue was the altitude and atmosphere, something the Mexican players were already accustomed to.

After getting through that experience, they travelled to Miami to face Norway on Saturday, July 11, with temperatures pitchside well beyond 30 degrees celsius.

Another hot one is now pencilled in for Wednesday, July 15, when England will face Messi's Argentina in Atlanta with temperatures expected to reach 29 degrees around kick off time, though there is a 20% chance of precipitation.
