How 𝐡𝐨𝐭 is this World Cup 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 going to be?
The Athletic is working with meteorologist Aaron Mentkowski (@AaronCh7Weather) to explain how the weather will affect this tournament.
With heat expected to be a major factor, we have analysed 10 years of data to build a picture of what players and fans can expect at each venue at the exact time games are being played.

Through one inning in windy West Sacramento, per @WeatherApplied:
Devers fly ball was blown in 109 feet and 76 feet towards right field. Would have landed on the warning track in LF corner
Rooker fly ball was blown rightward 104 feet. Would have landed in medium CF in calm conditions

Windy City (yes ik the real origin) 🌬️
This Ian Happ flyout was pushed in 137 ft by wind, preventing a home run, per @WeatherApplied
That’s the largest deviation preventing a HR in their database (2023),for anyone, surpassing…a 113-ft deviation for Happ earlier this year

Flyballs in Sunday’s game between the A’s and San Francisco Giants at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento could be pushed more than 100 feet toward home plate, if forecast wind speeds hold. sfchronicle.com/sports/giant…

Not only is James Wood the 2nd-tallest RF after Aaron Judge at 6'6", but per @WeatherApplied, Juan Soto's robbed HR here was blown in 3 feet (and 6 feet right) by the wind and would've cleared the fence about 4 feet higher in calm conditions
Soto robbed by height and the weather

Augusta National’s Golden Bell remains one of golf’s most confounding par 3s, with swirling wind above the pines dictating everything ⛳
Now some Masters competitors are turning to data from Weather Applied Metrics to better understand it.
