Sunday’s San Francisco 49ers game at Levi’s Stadium is set to be the hottest game in the history of the Santa Clara venue.
According to the National Weather Service, the temperature is forecast to be 92 degrees Sunday afternoon. The 1:05 p.m. kickoff time means fans will almost certainly be in their seats for the hottest point in the day.
Dylan Flynn, a meteorologist with the weather service’s Bay Area office, told SFGATE there’s a greater than 90% chance of Sunday’s temperature being in the 90s. He noted that it is a good drop in temperature from the record-breaking highs of this week — San Jose hit 100 degrees Tuesday, for example — but will still be classified as a “moderate heat risk” by NWS.
