How hot will it get in Dubai during the IND vs NZ final?
According to BBC Weather, temperatures will be the highest when the match begins at about 33 degrees Celsius, with the evening being slightly cooler.
The weather is predicted to be "very warm with a blend of sun and clouds" as per Accuweather, with temperatures hovering between 27 and 31 degrees Celsius.
Will there be dew during the Champions Trophy final between India and New Zealand?
The dew point for the match is 12 degrees Celsius, as per Accuweather. This implies that if the temperature drops to 12°C or below, dew is likely to form on surfaces as the air can no longer hold all the moisture and it condenses into liquid water beyond the dew point.
The large gap between the dew point and predicted air temperature indicates the weather is likely to remain dry, meaning dew is unlikely in this scenario.
This would be consistent with how the previous games in Dubai have gone, with dew having little impact. While India have won three games chasing, they have also won one defending a total and spinners' effectiveness has not reduced drastically in the second half.
What’s the rain prediction for the Champions Trophy 2025 final in Dubai?
The final will be played on a bright and sunny day, with no chances of precipitation, as per BBC Weather’s predictions. AccuWeather, however, predicts a minimal chance of rainfall throughout the day, at just one per cent.
The predictions on Google Weather, however, don’t look promising, with a 10 per cent chance of rain at the start of the match. This increases to 15 per cent by 6 pm local time before dropping back to 10 per cent for the remainder of the play.
