FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) – Lionel Messi and Inter Miami are playing in the most competitive MLS Cup final in league history.<\/p>\n

The game-time temperature in Fort Lauderdale during Saturday’s kickoff between Inter Miami and the Vancouver Whitecaps was 84 degrees (28 degrees Celsius), according to the National Weather Service.<\/p>\n

Add in 60% relative humidity and the heat index feels like 87 degrees (30 degrees Celsius). On a very sunny day, the team took a short break. The bench area was covered in clouds long before kickoff, but once the game started most of the fan seats were exposed to direct sunlight.<\/p>\n

It was unseasonably warm even for South Florida. Typical high temperatures during this time of year are around 78 degrees Fahrenheit (26 degrees Celsius).<\/p>\n

According to the league, the previous hottest MLS Cup final was in 2004, when DC United defeated Kansas City 3-2 in Carson, Calif., with a game-time temperature of 81 degrees (27 degrees Celsius).<\/p>\n

As expected, it was pretty cool in Vancouver on Saturday. The temperature at kickoff was 50 degrees (10 degrees Celsius).<\/p>\n
