South Bend Elkhart, IN, November 7, 2026 — A recent analysis conducted by WNDU has identified a notable correlation between game-day temperatures and the outcomes of past football matchups between Notre Dame and Miami. The study examined 15 previous games played between the two teams to identify trends.
According to the WNDU analysis, Miami has historically performed significantly better in warmer conditions. Specifically, when games have been played in temperatures of 70 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer, Miami has secured victories in approximately 75% of those contests.
Conversely, the data indicates a strong advantage for Notre Dame when the weather is colder. The analysis found that Notre Dame wins all games played in temperatures of 69 degrees Fahrenheit or colder.
The WNDU study also drew a comparison between the typical November weather conditions experienced in South Bend, Indiana, where Notre Dame plays its home games, and Miami, Florida. This comparison highlights the contrasting environmental factors the teams often face.
Looking ahead to the upcoming game, which is scheduled to take place in South Bend, the forecast indicates a significant difference from the warmer conditions where Miami has found more success. Kickoff is expected to occur with temperatures around 40 degrees Fahrenheit. This projection aligns with the colder weather pattern under which Notre Dame has historically maintained a perfect winning record against Miami, according to the WNDU findings.
