The Pickleball Weather Index scores every U.S. city 1–10 for outdoor play conditions — temperature, wind, humidity, and rain scored and weighted for what actually stops play.
The Pickleball Weather Index scores each U.S. city from 1 to 10 using National Weather Service NDFD forecast data at 2.5km resolution, updated every morning. Five weather factors are scored individually and combined into a single composite number that reflects what conditions actually feel like for outdoor pickleball play. Temperature, wind, and rain probability each carry double weight — prioritizing the factors that most directly affect whether you can play.
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 comfortable outdoor play. The index covers the contiguous United States with 37,000+ city data points.
