The NFL 2025 Schedule: Teams With Potentially The Hottest, Coldest, Wettest, Even Snowiest Games
The National Football League released its full 2025-2026 schedule on May 14, and while fans eagerly checked how tough their favorite team's road is this year, they may not have given as much thought to how challenging the weather may be. As both a meteorologist and lifelong NFL fan, I love games affected by weather, such as last January's snowy NFC divisional playoff in Philadelphia between the host Eagles and the warm-weather Los Angeles Rams. Meteorologists can't predict the weather for any game months in advance. But using data such as average high temperatures, and days with rain and snowfall, we calculated which of the 32 NFL teams could have the warmest, coldest, wettest, even snowiest schedules in 2025. We did not include games played in stadiums either with domes or retractable roofs in our calculations, but did include six of the seven games played in Europe (Madrid's Bernabéu Stadium has a retractable roof). We'll refer to the games we included in our calculations as "outdoor games". Based on this, we also picked our top 5 games that could have the most interesting weather in 2025. Average high temperature for outdoor games in 2025: 1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 73.9 degrees 2. Jacksonville Jaguars: 71.5 degrees 3. Miami Dolphins: 70 degrees 4. New Orleans Saints: 67.1 degrees 5. Carolina Panthers: 67 degrees No big surprise, here. The three Florida teams will probably play the warmest schedule. They have three home games in the central Florida heat from late September through mid-October. And their "coldest" game after Thanksgiving may be a trip to Charlotte against the Carolina Panthers just before Christmas. Sneaky warm schedule: While only the 13th warmest NFL schedule, of their seven outdoor games, the Detroit Lions trip to Green Bay is on the opening Sunday Sept. 7, and after mid-November, the Lions only game outdoors will be the first weekend of January in Chicago. Average high temperature for outdoor games in 2025: 1. Green Bay Packers: 51.8 degrees 2. Chicago Bears: 54.3 degrees 3. Cleveland Browns: 55.3 degrees 4. Minnesota Vikings: 55.8 degrees 5. Pittsburgh Steelers: 56.1 degrees Again, not a surprising list, here. The Packers don't play a single outdoor road game in a warmer climate in 2025, unless they make the playoffs. In fact their December schedule has two home games, and road games in cold cities, Denver, then Chicago. Of Minnesota's six outdoor games, two are in cooler Dublin and London, two are in late November in Green Bay and Seattle, and another is late December in the New Jersey Meadowlands. Sneaky cold schedule: While they play the fewest outdoor games (four) of any NFL team this year, the Arizona Cardinals will make an early November trip to Seattle, and will travel to Cincinnati in late December. That bumped them to the middle of the pack - 16th coldest - schedule. Monthly average days with measurable rain or snow for outdoor games in 2025: 1. Buffalo Bills: 13 days 2. Seattle Seahawks: 12.3 days 3. Cleveland Browns: 12.1 days 4. Miami Dolphins: 11.9 days 5. Pittsburgh Steelers: 11.6 days We'll come back to the Bills shortly. Again, no surprise to see the Seattle Seahawks near the top of this list. By the time October rolls around, measurable rain typically falls 14 days during the month, then 18 days each in November and December. Miami can also be drenched by thunderstorms early in the season before the state's drier season arrives in November and December. Sneaky wet schedule: The L.A. Rams play in the comfy, largely climate-controlled confines of SoFi Stadium. But their seven outdoor game schedule landed them the 14th wettest, including mid-September road games in Nashville and Philadelphia, a mid-October game in London, and a date in Seattle a week before Christmas. Fortunately for the Rams, that Seattle game is their only outdoor game after November unless they make the playoffs. Monthly average days with measurable snow for outdoor games in 2025: 1. Buffalo Bills: 4.4 days 2. Cleveland Browns: 3.2 days 3. Green Bay Packers: 2.92 days 4. Pittsburgh Steelers: 2.86 days 5. Chicago Bears and Denver Broncos (tie): 2.5 days The resiliency of the Bills' fans helping to clear snow, the pure joy of the players (well, at least the Bills players), and the snow globe spectacle make a Bills game in the snow the most enjoyable sporting event to me, except for one of those involving my favorite team, the Packers. That incredible lake-effect snow factory known as Lake Erie usually wrings out one snowy Bills game every 1 to 2 years. That's why they're number one on our list. If the lake snow machine is open for business early enough, it could welcome the warm-weather Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Nov. 16. Sneaky snowy schedule: Incredibly, the L.A. Chargers schedule came in 10th on our snowiest list. They only have seven outdoor games, but two of them are in Kansas City on December 14, then in Denver the first weekend of January. After their either warm-weather city or indoor game schedule through early December, that could be a harsh dose of winter reality for Jim Harbaugh's squad. Given all this, here are the games that grabbed my attention most for their weather potential. 5. New York Jets at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Sept. 21): I'm always interested to see how northern teams deal with the heat. Tampa's average high on Sept. 21 is 90 degrees. Not to mention the ever-present chance of afternoon thunderstorms in central Florida. 4. Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks (Nov. 30): It's a Midwest team from a climate-controlled stadium traveling to Seattle during its wettest month of the year. What could possibly go wrong, except Seattle now has Minnesota's quarterback from last year. 3. Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots (first weekend of January): Flipping the script of number 5 above, I'll circle any outdoor game in a cold weather location involving a Florida team traveling north, even if neither team is in the playoff race. 2. Green Bay Packers at Denver Broncos (Dec. 14): The cold and snow potential of this is just too tantalizing, apart from the possibility of each team in the playoff race. A mid-October 1984 "Broncos blizzard" was one of the most legendary snow games in NFL history. Incredibly, the Broncos only two touchdowns of that game were on consecutive fumble returns for touchdowns to start the game, the only time in NFL history a defense scored twice on its first two plays from scrimmage. 1. Buffalo Bills at Cleveland Browns (Dec. 21): If I could give the NFL schedule makers a group hug, I would cover this one game. It's the two snowiest NFL outdoor cities facing off - wait for it - four days before Christmas. I mean, consider what happened on Dec. 16, 2007, not only snow but also whipped by wind gusts up to 43 mph. I'm begging CBS to put this as their national game if the weather is anything like that this year. Consider it an early Christmas present to the legions of NFL fans who also love wild weather. We don't have average hourly temperature data where we could hone in on the actual kickoff temperatures for, say, night games. So, the closest proxy we had for the warmest and coldest schedules was the average high temperature on the day of the game. The exception to this was for the international games. For those, we only had monthly average high temperatures to use. For precipitation and snow, daily average rain and snowfall data is essentially meaningless for ranking. That data simply divides the average monthly precipitation by the number of days. While average monthly rainfall total has some value delineating wetter and drier times of year, for this analysis, we were more interested in how often it rains or snows. Therefore, we used the monthly average number of days with measurable rain (at least .01 inches) or snow (at least 0.1 inches). We did not have access to any snowfall data for the international game sites. Jonathan Erdman is a senior meteorologist at and has been covering national and international weather since 1996.

Ski resorts investing in snowmaking due to climate change and more
Over the past two summers, Alterra Mountain Company has shelled out $37 million to upgrade Winter Park's antiquated snowmaking system, one that was installed in the late 1970s when lift tickets cost less than $12. The goal was to extend the length of ski seasons, enabling the resort to open well before Thanksgiving and stay open deep into spring. But the snow gods have smiled on Winter Park recently. As of Thursday, the resort had received 340 inches of snow this season, the most of any ski area in Colorado. Its base depth of just under six feet stood at 11% above normal for the date. And so, even as other ski areas are shutting down for the season — eight have already closed and five more will close on Sunday — Winter Park is still going strong. It will stay open two more weeks, while the Mary Jane side of the mountain will remain open as long as conditions permit. Last year, that was May 28. Resort companies like Alterra and Vail Resorts that are investing in expansions of their snowmaking systems acknowledge the threat of climate change is a consideration in their thinking, but the more immediate goal is to extend the length of seasons in the near term. 'There are benefits to it being a hedge against climate change, but that's not why we did it,' said Winter Park spokeswoman Jen Miller. 'It's kind of an interesting story for us, because we are now one of the resorts that has the longest seasons in Colorado. We're opening earlier and we're staying open later.' Vail Resorts invested more than $100 million in snowmaking company-wide over the past 10 years. In 2019, Vail Mountain underwent the largest snowmaking expansion project in the resort's history with a heavy focus on two trails from the summit down to Mid-Vail. The company also has invested in snowmaking at Keystone, so that it can offer skiing at the top of that mountain in October, and at Breckenridge, where it aims to offer skiing into May. 'We've been able to extend our season by 12 days at our Rocky Mountain resorts,' said Bill Rock, president of the mountain division at Vail Resorts. 'The industry (overall) has invested in snowmaking as well, but the industry in the Rockies has added about five days. 'We look to provide more days, and more consistent conditions, for our guests,' he continued. 'We try to open Keystone as early as we can, and thanks to our investment in automated snowmaking, we're able to do that. We go into May at Breckenridge, and that's because of our investments in snowmaking there. We've been able to have some of our longest seasons at Vail over the last few years.' Mountaintops tend to be colder than base areas and can hold snow longer. That's why early-season skiing at Keystone and Vail can involve skiing at the top of the mountain, but riding the lift or gondola down to the base rather than skiing. In 2020, the Aspen Skiing Company installed snowmaking at the top of Aspen Mountain for similar reasons. 'It was very much intended to create an upper-mountain opening and closing scenario in lower snow years,' said Aspen Snowmass spokeswoman Hannah Dixon, adding that there are provisions to do the same at Snowmass in that resort's master plan. According to the Lakewood-based National Ski Areas Association, the average length of ski seasons in the Rocky Mountain region over the past decade has fluctuated between 122 and 132 days, excluding the COVID-shortened season of 2019-20 (103 days). The average length over that period has been 127 days, but the past three seasons stood at 130 days or more. Miller said Winter Park exceeded 200 days the past two seasons, and it will again this season if Mary Jane hangs on until late May as it did last year. Winter Park has seen above-average snowfall the past three seasons, too. 'This is our 85th season,' Miller said. 'If you go back to the early days of skiing in Colorado, we didn't start skiing until late December or January. Natural snow is variable, and snowmaking has allowed us to broaden the season. It's part of doing business as a ski area in the west.' Although ski areas operate their snowmaking guns primarily in early season, resort officials say those efforts continue to pay dividends in the spring because manmade snow is denser. As a result, it is more durable and holds up better when warmer temperatures arrive in the spring. 'When you build a super-solid, consistent base on the front end, you see less snowmelt and fewer issues when temperatures warm in the spring,' said Vail Resorts spokeswoman Lindsay Hogan. 'It has benefits on both sides of the season.' Eldora Mountain Resort, the Front Range ski area that opened Nov. 7 this season and will close on April 20, is seeking approval to expand its water storage capabilities for snowmaking in the future. 'That is just a common-sense hedge against what we're seeing in terms of climate trends,' said Eldora spokesman Sam Bass. 'We need the opportunity to store more water in case there is a summer when our primary snowmaking water storage doesn't fill up all the way. Any ski resort that's thinking about the future, which is every one, is probably thinking about ways to ensure that they have adequate water supplies and the ability to make snow.' The ability to offer early-season skiing is a key part of Eldora's competitive strategy. This season it opened a week earlier than scheduled. Last season, it opened two weeks ahead of schedule. 'That time of year, we're essentially the same size as Winter Park or Copper, or any of the big guys, because we all only have a couple of trails open,' Bass said. 'The Ikon passholder, early in the season, if they only have two or three Ikon options to choose from, they say, 'Why would I drive to Winter Park or Copper when I can just drive to Eldora for the same amount of terrain or more?' It's an opportunity for us to make hay early and provide a good product for the people who really want to get out and get after it early-season.' The looming specter of climate change remains a concern for the industry, however. 'Climate change has a real impact on our business, and it's something that we're concerned about,' said Rock, who is second in command at Vail Resorts to chief executive Kirsten Lynch. 'We're uniquely positioned to serve our guests during this volatility that it represents. The $100 million in snowmaking across the company has allowed us to provide reliable conditions for our guests throughout the whole season.' The same is true of Winter Park's massive investment in snowmaking. 'It puts us in a much better position long-term, depending on how snowfall will be in the next 10, 20, 30 years,' Miller said. 'It's a tricky subject. It's something that ski areas have done for a very long time, but it's become more of a reality that this is what we're going to need to be able to operate in the future.'
