Does Lake Erie affect Progressive Field weather?

Yes. A northeast wind off Lake Erie brings cooler, moister air into the park and can suppress carry. The lake also keeps early- and late-season games cooler than inland Ohio venues.

How cold is Progressive Field in April?

April night games regularly sit in the 40s°F (4-9°C), and April day games can struggle out of the 50s. Cold, dense air shortens carry and makes early-season games play lower than summer games.

Which wind direction matters at Progressive Field?

Northeast winds off Lake Erie are the suppressor; southwest winds from inland are warmer and help carry. The downtown canyon also channels wind, so direction at first pitch is more useful than raw speed.
