Live readings are context only. The game-time read uses the forecast at kick-off.

Why Craven Cottage plays differently

Craven Cottage sits directly on the Thames at Putney, and the open river reach to the south-west lets breeze come off the water. The ground's low, historic stands — the Cottage itself is a listed building — offer less shelter than modern bowls. The new Riverside Stand has changed the airflow on the river side, but this remains one of the league's more atmospheric weather venues.

Craven Cottage weather FAQs

Mildly. The riverside position lets south-westerly breeze run up the river onto the pitch, and misty, damp autumn evenings are common. The climate is otherwise standard mild London.

No evidence for it here or anywhere in the league — our 6,120-match English Premier League study found rain leaves goal totals statistically unchanged.

All kickoff times on this page are shown in UK local time (Europe/London), which is GMT in winter and BST in summer.

About this page

Craven Cottage weather is updated live and produces a game-time forecast read for every home fixture. The page uses one permanent URL for the ground; match-up details rotate as the schedule changes, so search results always point to current conditions. Our own studies of 6,120 English Premier League matches found rain, wind and temperature all leave goal totals statistically unchanged, so these pages stay honest: conditions and context, not exaggerated edge claims.
