Weather Impacts for NFL Week 16
Last Updated on December 20, 2025 12:56 pm by Jon Mosales | Published: December 20, 2025
Sixty degrees in Denver in late December!?!? That’s about as good as you expect in Denver this late in the season. As promised in last week’s article, the recent Arctic cold snap was short-lived. Week 16’s games won’t be nearly as cold as they were last week when several games were played with temperatures in the teens and two games faced bitter cold wind chills that were close to 0 degrees. Although rain and snow won’t be a problem in Week 16, two games have marginal winds that could occasionally impact the passing and kicking games. Overall, it is an “easy weather” week given that we are this late into the season.
This weekly NFL weather report by SportsEthos shows the weather forecast for each outdoor game. We will look for weather conditions that may help – or hinder – your fantasy players. We’ll also highlight games where weather forecasts may help us with Over/Under betting decisions.
The forecasts for each game are immediately below. If you’re interested in how various types of weather impact scoring of skill position players, check out the list at the bottom of this article.
NOTE: This report does not include games that are played in domes or retractable roof stadiums that are expected to have a closed roof.
