22, 1997, in Cleveland, with a game-time temperature of 38 degrees, wind chills in the upper teens and flurries falling during the game.Ĭheck back with us at for the latest updates on the World Series weather forecast.

But, for Game 7 of the World Series, it will feel like September baseball, instead. Usually the words 'November' and 'Cleveland' elicit thoughts of cold, windy weather.
