This product uses the Pickleball Index (PI). PI is an indicator of unfavorable weather conditions and is calculated using forecasted temperature, wind speed (sustained), and precipitation. Each can contribute up to 10 points towards the PI, where the lowest values are the most favorable for pickleball. 60-70F temperatures, 0-5 mph wind, and zero precipitation are treated as perfect scores.
See the forecast verification page for recent model blend performance.
Note: Development is still being done to improve day-to-day forecast consistency, particularly in the rain forecast.
