Chargers vs Bills weather report: What's in store for Week 16 at SoFi Stadium?

Before the 2023 NFL season started, the Buffalo Bills undoubtedly had Super Bowl dreams. But following a string of poor games in November, the team's record dropped to an unremarkable 6-6, and they were in danger of being eliminated from the postseason picture.

The Bills have since reacted by defeating the Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs in consecutive thrilling victories, which has allowed them to remain in the postseason mix. They'll now want to maintain the upward trend going into their upcoming away game in Week 16 against the LA Chargers.

Following Brandon Staley's firing last week, the Chargers will be attempting to win their first game under interim head coach Giff Smith.

What is the weather like in SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles, on Saturday?

On Saturday, Dec. 23, 2023, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, the Buffalo Bills vs. Los Angeles Chargers game is anticipated to take place in cold weather, with consistent highs in the upper 55.1 degrees. With little to no likelihood of rain, the weather is also predicted to be partly cloudy. The game's wind gust will have a speed of 14.3 mph.

NFL games are normally affected by cold weather. Still, since this game at SoFi Stadium will be played in temperatures close to 50 degrees, it is unlikely that the weather will have a big impact on the offensive or defensive strategies of either team.

Furthermore, since this game is being played within a dome-shaped stadium, inclement weather shouldn't matter.
