Washington golf weather — frequently asked
When is the best time to play golf in Washington?
August, July, June, September score highest in Stymie's 12-month planning model near Spokane. The model combines NASA POWER typical temperature, estimated dew point, precipitation, and wind; conditions vary across Washington, so use the city forecast before booking.
What dew point is comfortable for golf in Washington?
Dew points under 60°F are generally comfortable for golf. Below 50°F feels dry and crisp. Above 70°F, wet grips, heat stress, and dehydration matter more, although humid air itself is slightly less dense and does not make the ball fly shorter.
