The weather component is provisional until the game-time reading is confirmed. Adjust the factors in the tool above to test your own numbers.
The latest reading for Milan Puskar Stadium shows Patchy rain nearby, 51°F with winds of 9 mph. Gusts reaching 20 mph add variance to the kicking and passing game.
