Comerica Park Weather: Detroit Summers, Deep Center Field

By Kevin Roth, sports meteorologist. Data-driven ballpark guide for DFS players and bettors.

Climate

Comerica sits in downtown Detroit about a half mile from the river. Summer weather is warm and humid, though the Great Lakes keep the region cooler than typical Midwest inland cities. April and May games often start in the 50s. July averages around 84 degrees at Detroit Metro.

How wind plays here

Center field is to the north (bearing 15 degrees). South wind, the dominant summer flow, blows straight out to center. North wind off Lake Huron blows straight in. Center field is 420 feet deep, so wind effects on carry are magnified compared to shorter parks.

For DFS and bettors

The deep center-field configuration makes Comerica a below-average run environment on average. South wind at 12 mph or higher is what unlocks the park. North wind days are among the toughest for home run production.
