A UFC event promoted by President Donald Trump, known as UFC Freedom 250, was scheduled to take place outdoors on the White House South Lawn as part of celebrations connected to the United States' 250th anniversary and Trump's 80th birthday. However, weather forecasts suggested that organizers, fighters, and spectators could face significant challenges during the event. According to forecasts cited in the article, there was a 60 percent chance of thunderstorms in Washington, D.C., with the possibility of heavy rainfall and wind gusts reaching approximately 34 mph. Such conditions could lead to delays or interruptions in the scheduled fights. In addition to the storm threat, forecasters warned of intense humidity and heat, with heat index values expected to exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, creating uncomfortable conditions for everyone attending. The forecast also highlighted the likelihood of large numbers of mosquitoes and gnats in the outdoor venue. Because the octagon would be set up in an open-air environment, insects could become a noticeable nuisance for fighters and spectators alike. Organizers installed a large overhead structure known as 'the Claw' to help protect the fighting area from rain. Nevertheless, lightning remained a major concern. Event rules reportedly require a mandatory 30-minute suspension whenever a lightning strike occurs within an eight-mile radius, meaning repeated weather-related pauses could occur if storms move through the area. The article notes that the UFC event became the centerpiece of the weekend's celebrations after musical performers reportedly withdrew from the festivities. While Trump had heavily promoted the event, weather conditions remained an unpredictable factor that could affect how smoothly the spectacle unfolded.

How long will Andy last?
Looks like #Burnham will win #Makerfield, and be Prime Minister by September. 🤮
But he has already committed to most #Starmer policies. So his popularity will soon crash. But when?
I think his trajectory will be a sort of accelerated #GordonBrown. GB took over as PM in June 2007. His poll boost peaked in late Sept. By end of 2007 his numbers were back to about the same as #Blair's.
Times are harsh. I reckon the Burnham bounce will be over before Christmas.
