A Good Day To Play Ball

On Wednesday night, history will be made. Either in the favor of the Cubs or the Indians. The cubs haven't won since 1908, as I'm hoping mostly everyone knows. The Indians however, won in 1948. Similar to the game the previous night, it will be unusually warm in Cleveland. Specifically, the high for that day is 75 degrees, and the low is a measly 61 degrees. At the actual time of the game though, it is expected to reach 66 degrees, with only a slight breeze of 3 mph.

This means that hopefully the game will go off without an weather delays! The nice weather is a continuance of the great weather we have been experiencing n the playoffs anyways, which is great for baseball fans!

Why weather is unlikely to affect this year’s election...

"If it's cold, the republicans won't show." "If it rains, the republicans will stay away" These old wive tales may seem silly, but there is some truth to them. If there is severe or bad weather some certain groups of people may find it hard to show to the polls Groups, especially the oldest and youngest of voters, could be deterred from the polls if the weather is crazy.

However, this year, the majority of the country is expected to have mild and nice weather. In an article from the Washington Post, a study concluded that foul weather — mainly rain and snow — decreased voter turnout and benefited Republicans. For every inch of rain, voter turnout declined by just under 1 percent. And their results showed the bad weather dissuaded Democrats the most.
