S​uper Bowl LVIII will be played indoors in Las Vegas this Sunday, and while that will prevent any weather factors from affecting the matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs, past history shows other years haven't been so lucky.

F​orecast for Las Vegas calls for drier weather, but cool temperatures remain. It's been a cool, wet week, but weather conditions will be drier over the coming days and through Super Bowl weekend itself, which should feature plenty of sunshine. Highs will generally be in the lower to middle 50s through Sunday, which is on the cooler side of the lower 60s average high this time of year.

T​he next Super Bowl to potentially have a weather factor is in about two years. Super Bowl LX will be played outdoors at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Feb. 8, 2026. Given that's squarely in California's wet season, the weather conditions will be a possible story to watch.

With weather in mind, here's a look at the most extreme Super Bowls, starting with the hottest.

Southern California is home to the three warmest Super Bowl games in history. The warmest was Super Bowl VII on Jan. 14, 1973, in Los Angeles, which the Pro Football Hall of Fame lists a kickoff temperature of 84 degrees for a matchup that saw the Miami Dolphins defeat the Washington Redskins (now known as the Commanders), 14-7, capping out the only undefeated season (including playoffs) in NFL history.

2022's game was also played in the Los Angeles metro area and was nearly as warm.

Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium, which dubs itself as the "first indoor-outdoor stadium to be constructed,​" had a kickoff temperature of 82 degrees. That tied Super Bowl XXXVII on Jan. 26, 2003, in San Diego as the second-warmest game.

S​outh Florida was home to the wettest Super Bowl 17 years ago. Out of the 11 Super Bowls played in Miami, the Feb. 4, 2007, game between the Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears was most affected by weather. Almost an inch of rain fell on Super Bowl Sunday, with winds gusting to 20 mph.

There were eight turnovers, including five lost fumbles, perhaps what you might expect for a game played in rain.

Miami averages only seven February days with rain, as the month is squarely in Florida's dry season. However, moisture overrunning a stationary front over the Florida Straits was enough to soak this Super Bowl.

Certainly Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning and head coach Tony Dungy will never forget hoisting the Lombardi trophy in the rain in South Florida.

T​he coldest game was in the Deep South more than 50 years ago. Ground had just been broken on the construction of the Louisiana Superdome in August 1971.

As a result, Super Bowl VI was played outdoors at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans on Jan. 16, 1972. The high temperature for the day only reached 43 degrees, far below the average January high of 62. The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Miami Dolphins, 24-3.

The most recent outdoor Super Bowl to have jacket-worthy temperatures was Feb. 3, 2014, in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The high for the day reached 55, and the kickoff temperature was 49, according to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. That's fairly comfortable for the New York City metro area given the time of year, especially since 8 inches of snow fell near the stadium the following day.

The coldest Super Bowl Sunday for an indoor game was on Feb. 4, 2018, in Minneapolis. Though the temperature was pleasant inside U.S. Bank Stadium for Super Bowl LII, which saw the Philadelphia Eagles defeat the New England Patriots, the high for the day outside the stadium only reached the single digits.

W​ind has been in a factor in multiple Super Bowls. Super Bowl XIV in Pasadena, California, on Jan. 20, 1980, is one of the five windiest in history, according to the Southeast Regional Climate Center. That day had gusts up to 30 mph out of the northeast.

Wind gusts up to 29 mph were clocked before the kickoff of Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, California, on Feb. 7, 2016, but conditions turned calmer during the game itself.

Wind gusts up to 25 mph were recorded on the day of Super Bowl XVIII in Tampa, Florida (1984), and Super Bowl XXIII in Miami (1989).

Finally, the wettest Super Bowl mentioned earlier in this article was also among the windiest. Winds gusted up to 20 mph during the soaked Super Bowl XLI in 2007.

No Super Bowl game has been impacted directly by winter weather. Several indoor games, however, have had wintry weather outside on the day or week of the big game.

-Super Bowl XL: 1.1 inches of snow fell Feb. 5, 2006, in Detroit, Michigan.

-Super Bowl XVI: 0.3 inches of snow fell Jan. 24, 1982, in Pontiac, Michigan.

-Super Bowl XXXIV: An ice storm affected Atlanta in January 2000.

-Super Bowl XLV: Though snow did not fall on the day of this 2011 game in Arlington, Texas, 3.7 inches of snow did accumulate during the week before the game.

-Super Bowl LII: A trace of snow was officially recorded in the Twin Cities. Up to half a million customers were without power, some for more than a week during the Atlanta 2000 ice storm. Complicating the snowfall during the week of Super Bowl XLV in Arlington, Texas, was lingering subfreezing cold, keeping roads icy in the metro area. Slabs of ice and snow tumbled from the stadium's roof onto plazas below, leading to several injuries.
