How the Pickleball Weather Index Works

The Pickleball Weather Index scores each location from 1 to 10 using National Weather Service forecast data at 2.5km resolution across the contiguous United States. It is updated daily and reflects conditions most pickleball players describe as ideal for outdoor play.

Six factors are scored and combined:

🌡️ Temperature Peak score at 65–85°F. Wider range than golf. Cold and extreme heat penalized.
💨 Wind Important but less punishing than golf. Scores drop above 25 mph.
⛅ Cloud Cover Clear and partly cloudy both score well. Heavy overcast penalized.
💧 Humidity Low dewpoint = higher score. Muggy conditions penalized.
🌂 Rain Chance Above 30% chance begins to significantly lower scores.
🌧️ Precipitation Any meaningful QPF lowers the score substantially.

A score of 10 means near-perfect pickleball conditions. A score of 1 means conditions are poor — too cold, too windy, or too wet for outdoor play.
