Today's weather update for India, Ireland T20 World Cup clash

India begins their 2024 T20 World Cup campaign today (June 5) against Ireland in New York. Here's the latest weather forecast for the IND vs IRE match, including the chances of rain.

The match will begin at 10:30 AM local time in New York. Both of yesterday’s fixtures in Guyana and Dallas were affected by rain. England’s clash against Scotland was eventually abandoned amidst a heavy downpour, while Nepal vs Netherlands was significantly delayed. However, the weather forecast today in New York is more promising for the India vs Ireland game.

The match will be the second of the tournament played at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium after South Africa beat Sri Lanka at the ground earlier this week. It will be played on a unique drop-in wicket, which proved difficult to score on in the first fixture, adding an interesting twist to the game.

BBC Weather predicts that there will be at most a four percent chance of rain for the fixture, with sunny spells breaking through mostly cloudy skies, providing a high level of confidence in the game's weather conditions.

AccuWeather lists rain chances as slightly higher than BBC Weather but no higher than seven percent. They also predict sunnier skies with less cloud.

The Weather Channel predicts that the match will be mostly played under cloudy skies with a slight wind and, as all services agree, a small possibility of rain.
