During the Battle of Saratoga, which took place in September and October 1777, the weather was characterized by rainy and cold conditions.

These challenges made things difficult for the American and British forces. The forces' movement and supplies were made more difficult by the muddy terrain caused by the continuous rain. Soldiers had discomfort and challenges in keeping supplies and spirits up. The inclement weather altered battle plans, as commanders had to adapt to the slick ground and restricted sight. Despite all of this, the Americans successfully employed their strategies, which helped them win this crucial battle in the Revolutionary War.
