Providence FanZone Adjusts for Heat | Providence News

Providence’s World Cup FanZone is heating up — literally — as officials scramble to adapt to dangerously hot weather forecasted for the holiday weekend. With temps soaring past 100 degrees and oppressive humidity, the city’s shifting FanZone hours: skipping afternoon matches on Wednesday, delaying openings on Thursday and Friday, and still figuring out Saturday’s (July 4th) plan. To keep fans cool, they’re boosting shade, adding misting fans and cooling towels, and extending pool and water park hours. Officials are urging everyone to stay indoors during peak heat, hydrate, wear loose clothes, and check on neighbors — all while emergency crews stand ready. Enjoy the World Cup safely, folks — the heat’s no joke.
