Great American Ball Park Weather: Ohio River Wind, Cincinnati Summers

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

Climate

GABP sits on the north bank of the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati. Summer weather is warm and humid: July averages around 87 degrees at CVG with dew points in the mid to upper 60s.

How wind plays here

Center field is to the northeast. Southwest wind, the summer default, blows out to center and right. Cross-winds along the river axis are common. GABP is one of the friendliest home run parks in the majors regardless of wind, and wind out to right on a warm humid night pushes it into elite scoring territory.

For DFS and bettors

GABP consistently ranks near the top of MLB parks for run environment. Warm humid nights with any wind component blowing out are the strongest hitting conditions. Cold north wind days are the only condition where the park plays neutral.
