About ten years ago, our opening game was on an astro-turf field. When we got to the field, it was about 75 degrees and sunny. We got dressed (short sleeves of course and...I regret saying this--shorts) and went through the pregame. Go out onto the field and it begins to rain--harder than I've ever seen in my life. In fact, it was raining so hard, that I could not see the HL on the opposite of the field! And then the temperature began to drop and the wind picked up to about 25-30 mph. It actually dropped to about 45 degrees! The rain finally stopped. And there we are in soaking wet clothes, freezing to death on a windy field. The only saving grace was that the field was astro-turf and not natural grass (mud)!
