How we score golf weather
The golf playability score (0–100) weights feels-like temperature (40%), dry-day frequency (25%), wind (20%), cloud/fog (10%) and humidity (5%), tuned so 62–80°F, light winds and clear skies score highest. Historical figures use ERA5 reanalysis (1991–2024); the forecast uses Open-Meteo. Values are regional (nearest grid cell), so treat them as the seasonal pattern rather than hole-by-hole precision.
