    Why Portman Road plays differently

    Portman Road is a traditional four-stand ground in East Anglia — statistically one of the driest and calmest corners of England. Rain totals here are among the lowest in the league, and the enclosed stands blunt most wind. The regional quirk is cold: clear East Anglian winter nights can drop kickoff temperatures close to freezing even when the day was mild.

    Portman Road weather FAQs

    Less than almost anywhere else in the league. East Anglia sits in the driest part of England, and wet kickoffs here are notably rarer than at the western grounds.

    Clear winter nights get genuinely cold, but our English Premier League temperature study found scoring is flat across every temperature band — from freezing to hot — so it is a comfort issue, not a goals issue.

    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

    Portman Road 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.
