From fans attending the 2023 Super Bowl, bettors looking to throw some money on the big game or folks planning to watch at home who are simply curious, Sunday’s weather forecast is a big deal.
The 2023 Super Bowl will be held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona with the Kansas City Chiefs facing off against the Philadelphia Eagles.
When it comes to weather, State Farm Stadium has a retractable roof. So before we get to the weather report for Sunday’s season finale, will the roof be open for the Super Bowl?
The roof has been open for the last two Super Bowls the stadium hosted, and it’s expected to be open again for Sunday’s Eagles-Chiefs matchup, depending on the weather, according to multiple reports.
Now, to the weather forecast.
The 2023 Super Bowl will kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET, but that’s 4:30 p.m. locally in Glendale. According to The Weather Channel, it will be 76 degrees and partly cloudy around the time of kickoff with a zero percent chance of rain and wind blowing at eight miles an hour.
As the Super Bowl continues, the temperature is set to drop into the 60s between 6 and 7 p.m. locally with the wind slightly increasing and up to a 15 percent chance of rain into the evening. So it certainly seems like this year’s Super Bowl should have nice weather.
According to the National Weather Service’s historical data for the Phoenix area on Feb. 12, the average maximum and minimum temperatures on that date are 71.6 and 49.1, respectively. And the average rainfall barely registers with a 0.02-inch average.
