Canada vs. Bosnia forecast: Will rain disrupt Toronto’s FIFA Fan Festival again?

Thursday’s FIFA Fan Festival was cancelled due to bad weather, so what’s the forecast for Friday ahead of Canada versus Bosnia’s game?

Thursday’s Mexico vs. South Africa match at the FIFA Fan Fest was interrupted mid-game due to weather, forcing the City of Toronto and organisers to cancel the rest of the event. Fans were disappointed to miss part of the game as they exited the area to quickly go home or find a bar nearby to squeeze the rest of the game in. Thursday’s events cast a doubt over Fan Festival scheduled for Friday’s game.

Environment Canada had anticipated 30 per cent of showers early Thursday evening, with a risk of thunderstorms.  

Shortly after the announcement of the event’s cancellation, it started drizzling, which later turned into heavier rain. Though it stopped after about 15 minutes.

So, here’s the weather forecast for Friday, to see if attending is worthwhile.

Canada’s set to play its first FIFA World Cup match against Bosnia on the afternoon of June 12.

There’s been much anticipation built around it, so to avoid being disappointed and missing the game, here’s the forecast.

Environment Canada forecasts cloudy weather with a 40 per cent chance of showers in the afternoon. However, conditions are expected to improve, with skies clearing later on and a clear night in store for soccer fans.

Now Toronto reached out to the City of Toronto, but the City did not directly respond to the question about tomorrow’s weather and possible cancellation. The city administration will hold a 10 a.m. presser on Friday for updates.

If you’re considering attending, check the weather before leaving, dress for the weather, bring a raincoat, and have a backup plan in mind to catch the rest of the game if FIFA Fan Fest is cancelled once again.

Friday’s weather is supposed to hit a high of 32C and a low of 18C according to Environment Canada.
