## What is Pickleball Weather?

Should you play pickleball right now? Pickleball Weather gives you the answer instantly.

A single color-coded rating - Green, Yellow, or Red - tells you whether conditions are good for play. No more checking multiple weather apps and guessing. Just open the app and know.

HOW IT WORKS

Pickleball Weather evaluates multiple factors every hour to determine playability:

- Precipitation - rain, drizzle, or snow
- Wind speed - too breezy for consistent play?
- Temperature - too hot or too cold?
- Humidity - heat index matters when it's warm
- Daylight - is the sun still up?
- Ground wetness - are the courts likely wet from recent rain?
- UV Index - avoid harmful UV radiation
- AQI - monitor air quality to keep your lung healthy 

Each factor is rated independently, and the overall rating reflects the worst condition. If it's sunny and warm but the wind is howling, you'll see Yellow or Red with a clear explanation why.
