Here’s the weather forecast for Baltimore for Springboks-All Blacks Test
The Springboks and All Blacks will take their historic rivalry to the United States on Saturday, 12 September, with warm and humid conditions forecast for Baltimore.
The fourth and final Test of the series will be played at M&T Bank Stadium, home of NFL side the Baltimore Ravens, with more than 70 000 fans expected for the clash.
South Africa currently lead the four-Test series 2-1, meaning the Springboks have the opportunity to seal a series victory while the All Blacks will be desperate to force a draw in the series finale.
Warm and humid conditions expected
According to the latest forecast, Baltimore is expected to experience a mostly cloudy and humid Saturday, with an afternoon high of around 26 degrees Celsius.
Wind is forecast at around 13km/h out of the south-east, gusting up to 22km/h.
Humidity is set to be 73%.
The forecast will also be closely watched by thousands of travelling South African and New Zealand supporters heading to the stadium for what is one of the biggest rugby events ever staged in the city.
The match is scheduled for 17:00 local time, which is 23:00 (SA time) on Saturday night.
Springboks’ US record
It will be only the fourth Test the Springboks have played in the United States.
South Africa’s three previous matches on American soil have seen them win two and lose one.
Their first visit came in 1981, when the Springboks defeated the United States 38-7 at Owl Creek Polo Ground in Glenville, New York.
Twenty years later, they returned to the US and recorded another convincing victory, beating the Americans 43-20 at Robertson Stadium in Houston on 1 December 2001.
Their most recent appearance in the country came in 2018, although it ended in disappointment.
The Springboks suffered a narrow 22-20 defeat to Wales at RFK Stadium in Washington DC on 2 June 2018.
The Baltimore showdown will therefore be South Africa’s first Test in the US since that defeat – and their first ever against New Zealand.
