Coverage and methodology
Temperature and wind sections require at least 10 non-null outdoor observations. Wettest and snowiest require at least three positive measurements, so an unavailable section is omitted instead of treating missing or zero values as an extreme. Indoor games are excluded. Score differentials are descriptive context only and do not establish that weather changed the outcome.
