Weather Costs Outdoor Courts Money Every Week

Most booking platforms treat weather as an afterthought. Operators manage cancellations manually, lose revenue, and frustrate players.

🌧️ Rainout Revenue Loss

Facilities average $300+ per court per day in revenue. A single bad weather day across 6 courts means $1,800+ gone — in refunds, empty slots, and players who don't rebook.

💨 Wind Blindspot

Wind above 15 mph makes pickleball miserable. Above 25 mph it's unplayable. Generic weather apps show wind speed — not whether it ruins play.

📞 Manual Cancellation Calls

Staff spend 2–3 hours calling players before bad weather days. That's $40–80 in labor for something a data feed handles instantly.

🌡️ Heat & Humidity Blindspots

90°F with 72°F dewpoint is dangerous for players but shows as a normal booking day. No composite score means no automated safety flag.

✓ One Score Your Logic Can Act On

Temperature, humidity, wind, cloud cover, and rain combined into a single 1–10 playability score. Your booking logic checks one number.

✓ Pickleball-Specific Wind Scoring

Wind degrades at 8 mph, heavily penalized above 17 mph, hard-vetoed above 25 mph — regardless of how good everything else looks.

✓ Automated Alerts Before It's Too Late

When PWI drops below your threshold, trigger push notifications or emails automatically — before players drive to an unplayable court.

✓ 7-Day Revenue Planning Window

Dynamic pricing, staff scheduling, and tournament planning based on verified playability data a full week ahead.

How Platforms Use This Data

One API call. Multiple revenue-protecting applications.

Automated Weather Alerts

When PWI drops below your threshold, trigger push notifications or emails before players drive to an unplayable court.

💰

Dynamic Pricing

📱

🏗️

Facility Operators

Outdoor pickleball facilities managing their own bookings. Reduce manual cancellation calls and frustrate fewer players.

Not Generic Weather — Tuned for Pickleball

Standard weather apps show raw conditions. Our index scores what those conditions actually mean for outdoor pickleball play.

💨

Wind — The #1 Factor

Score degrades at 8 mph, drops sharply above 17 mph, hard-vetoed above 25 mph. The ball becomes uncontrollable regardless of everything else.

🌡️

Heat & Humidity Combined

Peak score at 68–76°F. Dewpoint scored separately — 90°F with 72°F dewpoint is dangerous. Both combine into the composite score.

🌧️

Rain Probability + Accumulation

Both rain probability and rainfall accumulation are scored separately. A 30% chance of light drizzle scores differently than a 30% chance of heavy rain.

☁️

Cloud Cover Matters Too

Partly cloudy scores well. Heavy overcast is penalized. Clear skies score highest — but blazing sun at 96°F doesn't.
