| Field name | Plain-English meaning | Source category | Coverage years | Known limitations | Example page |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| game_id | Game identifier used to connect weather context to schedules, team pages, game stats, and venue records. | Schedule and game identity records | Available where game records are normalized and weather can be matched. | Canceled, delayed, relocated, or neutral-site games can require special handling. | Game stats |
| temperature | Game-context temperature used in weather filters and summaries. | Weather observation or model match | Available where a game has usable venue and date matching. | This should be read as contextual weather, not a snap-by-snap on-field instrument reading. | Weather impact |
| wind_speed | Wind speed associated with game conditions for weather summaries and comparisons. | Weather observation or model match | Available where weather matching returns wind fields. | Stadium shape, direction, and gusts can differ from the matched record. | Weather impact |
| precipitation | Rain, snow, or other precipitation signal used for weather grouping. | Weather observation or model match | Available where precipitation fields are present in the matched weather record. | Light precipitation, timing within the game, and roof status can affect interpretation. | Team weather |
| indoor_flag | Indicator that a game or venue should be interpreted as indoor, domed, or roof-controlled. | Venue metadata and schedule context | Available where venue metadata identifies indoor or roof-controlled conditions. | Retractable roofs, neutral sites, and temporary venue records can require review. | Stadiums |
| weather_condition | Plain-language condition label used to summarize the matched game weather. | Weather observation or model match | Available where matched weather data includes condition labels. | A single label can simplify changing conditions across a multi-hour game. | Weather impact |
