Those at the Super Bowl are witnessing a perfect day of California weather, much to the relief of the teams and the audience. The weather in Santa Clara is spectacular, with almost no chance of precipitation on Sunday, and temperatures around 65 degrees, CBS News reported.
This comes as a reward for the Patriots after two frigid weeks of playoff football in New England and a snowy mess in Denver during the AFC Championship Game.
What the National Weather Service said
The National Weather Service said that nice weather is on tap for the game, both at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara and in Los Angeles, per the Los Angeles Times. Low clouds did hang over parts of the Santa Clara area Sunday morning, but were expected to clear by noon, with the region becoming more sunny. Kickoff between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots is set for 3:30 pm.

Eleanor Delizio, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Monterey, said that temperatures around the stadium are expected to rise into the 60s, and potentially into the upper 60s, “depending on how much sun they get down there.” Winds are expected to be light.
More clouds could arrive in the evening, ushered in by another weather system. However, there is likely to be no precipitation in the South Bay. Delizio said that there is a slight chance of evening rain in the North Bay and into wine country.

Fans celebrating in the Los Angeles area will enjoy an even nicer weather, where “you’d hardly believe it’s February,” said Rose Schoenfeld, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Oxnard. “Today is going to be a pretty nice day,” she added.
Schoenfeld said that temperatures will be in the upper 70s to low 80s — about 10 to 15 degrees above average for this time of year. She added that the skies will be “pretty clear.”
