Updated: Sep 10, 5:00pm UTC

The 2023 MLB All-Star Week officially kicks into high gear on Monday night at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington. The All-Star festivities begin with one of the most exciting spectacles in sports as eight of baseball's top batters take part in the 2023 Home Run Derby.

Unsurprisingly, MLB enthusiasts are wondering if Seattle's weather on Monday night will benefit the derby participants or not.

T-Mobile Park Weather

Like any sporting event that takes place outdoors, the 2023 MLB Home Run Derby is susceptible to the weather. Considering how Seattle is known for its rain, it's understandable that fans are concerned about the upcoming forecast.

Due to its location in Seattle near Puget Sound, T-Mobile Park can be impacted by weather like heavy precipitation, cooler temperatures and generally unpredictable weather. That can make hitting home runs harder for players who aren't used to playing in similar situations.

Home Run Derby Weather Monday

The good news for fans and players at T-Mobile Park is that Monday's weather looks quite promising. According to AccuWeather, the forecast calls for a cool summer day with temperatures only reaching 71 degrees. It's going to be sunny mixed with clouds, featuring no chance of precipitation with wind gusts up to 18 mph.

Even if the weather does take a sudden change, the good news is that T-Mobile Park features a retractable roof that can close in 10 to 20 minutes. In other words, the participants have every reason to believe that the weather won't be a factor on Monday night.
