I didn't address this:

I poked around the rest of the league and the highest I saw in either category was an average temperature of 80 in St Louis in July and a 5% chance of rain in April in Pittsburgh.
I don't remember changing anything so I think these are the default settings. Any ideas? I can change each one, but I don't want to screw anything up either. If these are historically accurate and change each year, maybe 1930 was chilly and dry. I'm just trying to get some opinions, thanks!

The average temperatures are, I think, exactly that: averages. So the average temperature for St. Louis in July is the average of all temperatures in that city from midnight, July 1 to 11:59 p.m., July 31. Which also means that nighttime and daytime temperatures are averaged together. Not the best system, I'll admit, but it works well enough for game purposes. I really don't know if temperature has any effect on the game at all. If you wanted to tinker with the temps to make them reflect a purely daytime schedule, that can be done.
Also, the weather data isn't historically accurate. I don't know what year's stats are in the weather file, but my guess is that it was within the last twenty years.
