Heat Breaks in Gold Cup

Have they always had this? And does it have to be a certain temp for the rule to go into effect?
Also, how many per game?

One break in each half, usually about 30 minutes into the half. These were introduced in the last World Cup, and other FIFA tournaments and even individual leagues have adopted them now. I don't know if there's a specific temperature threshold, but most games I've seen above 80 degrees Fahrenheit have had the mandatory hydration breaks. I would guess the threshold is in Celsius degrees, maybe 25.
One of the best things FIFA has done in a while. Keeps the players safe and doesn't take away from the game.

Think it's an "advanced" calculation, not just temperature

Weather sites and graphics will report it as "wet bulb" temperature. Basically it takes temperature, humidity, etc into account to determine how well the athletes can cool themselves by sweating. I'm not sure what the threshold is.

Therefore, to assess the risk of playing, FIFA measures not only the air temperature but what is called the “Wet Bulb Globe Temperature” (WBGT). At FIFA matches, additional cooling breaks are considered when WBGT is above 32°C.

In other words, if the WGBT — which takes into account temperature, humidity, wind speed and sunlight — calculates the temperature as being higher than 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit, teams will be required to take a water break at the first natural stoppage after the 30th and 75th minutes in international play.

Was at the Germany v. South Korea match in Dallas, during World Cup 1994, it was easily 130° down on the floor of the Cotton Bowl. The match started at 3:00 p.m. CDT.
The touchline was a garbage dump of plastic water bottles, the physios were tossing out three and four bottles at a time whenever the bulk of the play came close to that side of the pitch. Invariably, the players themselves would launch the ball into touch so they could drink.

Its okay, they still get orange slices at halftime and Kona Ice after the game.
