- England vs Mexico kick-off time: 1am BST / 6pm Mexico City
- 63% chance of thunderstorms at Mexico City Stadium (Azteca)
- Lightning delays if storms move over the stadium
- "Shelter in place" order issued – "Severe weather approaching"
The England vs Mexico weather is not looking good. With less than 2 hours to go before the 1am BST / 6pm Mexico kick-off, a "shelter-in-place order has been issued at the Azteca Stadium" because of "severe weather".
England's World Cup tie could delayed as supporters, who were told to arrive two hours before kick-off, have been warned to remain in the Azteca ground.
Earlier today, experts predicted a 63% chance of thunderstorms around the Azteca. But it's not the rain that could delay England vs Mexico – lightning.
If strikes move within 8 miles of the stadium, FIFA safety protocols could see England's Round of 16 match halted for a minimum of 30 minutes.
The pitch was temporarily closed after an electrical storm earlier today at 12pm BST, so stay with us as we keep a close eye on the England vs Mexico weather and kick off time...
