How it scores

What goes into the grade

Wind, weighted heaviest

Wind ruins more rounds than anything else, especially on exposed courses. Gusts over 22 mph drop the score hard, 30+ turns it red.

Rain, the dealbreaker

Heavy precipitation or a probability above 70% drops a slot to red. Light showers ding it without killing it.

Cloud cover

Dark and overcast is grim, especially with wind. Clear sky under 30% cloud earns a sunny tag and lifts the verdict.

Temperature

Below 8°C and your hands stop working. Above 28°C and you are cooked. Ideal is 14 to 22°C with low wind and clear sky.
