Tues 17th June update 2
Ah it was all hot and humid last time, up in the far north of Brazil. Playing in the rainforest was always going to be tricky.
Up against Uruguay next on Thurs 19th 4pm local time (8pm UK kickoff slightly more sociable) in Sao Paulo at the Arena Corinthians where Brazil won the opening match. Under 3 hours flight northeast for the Uruguay team to Sao Paulo.
The forecast does include rain on Thursday and it looks cool. 16C (61F) and cloudy with light rain, could have been playing at home in that.

The first match of the Fifa 2014 World Cup kicks off tonight. What are conditions likely to be for the football?
Hosts Brazil meet Croatia in Sao Paulo at 5pm local time (9pmBST). Friday’s high is expected to be in the low twenties, so similar to the UK but quite humid.
For England’s match versus Italy on Saturday, this one is being played up in the north of Brazil, Arena Amazonia. Here it will be warmer, peaking at 31C in the day, still high twenties by the evening 6pm kick off (10pmBST) and very high humidity. This is practically in the Amazon jungle.
Checkout the forecast for Brazil, or other cities around the World.
