What to plan for

Wind · 0 mph N

Negligible. Pick the club you'd hit on a calm range.

Dew point · 78° · Oppressive

Heavy, humid air. Expect wet grips and faster fatigue; bring water, an extra glove, and a towel. Humidity itself slightly reduces air density, so any distance loss is usually from heat and fatigue rather than the air.

Browse by state

Per-state golf weather hubs with the top golf cities and seasonal context — when each region plays best, what dew points to expect, altitude effects.

Dew point comfort scale

Dew point — not humidity — is the cleanest single number for how oppressive the air feels. A 90% humidity day at 50°F feels great; the same humidity at 80°F is a sauna. Dew point captures that directly.

Below 50

Dry & crisp

Dry, crisp air. Ball carries well, grips stay tacky, sweat-free 18.

50 – 59

Comfortable

Pleasant playing conditions. Most amateurs play their best in this band.

60 – 69

Humid

Sticky, noticeably warm. Grip slip becomes a factor late in the round.

70+

Oppressive

Heavy, humid air. Grip care, shade, and hydration matter.

Golf weather — frequently asked

How far ahead can I check golf weather?

Stymie pulls a 5-day forecast — today plus the next 4 days. For dates beyond that, swing back closer to your tee time and the page will fill in. Forecast accuracy is also strongest 0–3 days out; days 4–5 are useful for trends but the actual numbers can shift.

What dew point is comfortable for golf?

Anything below 60°F is generally comfortable. Below 50°F is dry and crisp, while the 60–70°F range feels increasingly humid. At 70°F+, wet grips, heat stress, and dehydration matter far more than humidity’s small positive effect on ball carry.

How does wind affect a golf shot?

A common caddie heuristic: each 1 mph of headwind costs roughly 1 yard of carry on a driver, and each 1 mph of tailwind adds about 0.5 yards. So a 15 mph headwind is roughly 15 yards short — about one club. Crosswinds don't shorten the shot much but push the ball sideways; aim 1 yard upwind for every 5 mph of crosswind on a 150-yard shot.

Are gusts worse than steady wind?

Yes. A steady 15 mph wind is predictable — pick your club, commit, swing. A 10 mph wind with 25 mph gusts is much harder because the gust can hit at the wrong moment in the swing or while the ball is in flight. When gusts are more than ~50% above sustained wind, club up and swing smoother instead of harder.

Does humidity make the ball go shorter?

No. At the same temperature and pressure, humid air is slightly less dense, so the ball can carry marginally farther. The practical downside is the golfer: slick grips, heat stress, and fatigue can reduce strike quality enough to overwhelm that small aerodynamic gain.

Is cold weather bad for golf?

The ball loses about 1 yard of carry for every 10°F below 70°F. At 40°F a 250-yard driver becomes ~228 yards. Cold also stiffens the body and the ball core — both reduce smash factor. Warm balls in your pocket between shots help marginally.

What temperature is best for golf?

Most golfers are comfortable around 65–80°F. Above 85°F, especially with a high dew point, fatigue and hydration become the bigger concerns; below 60°F the ball and body both tend to produce less speed. Calm wind and a dew point under 60°F usually make temperatures in the 70s feel especially playable.

What's the difference between feels-like and actual temperature?

Feels-like temperature factors humidity (in heat) and wind chill (in cold) on top of the air temperature. For golf, feels-like is more useful than the raw number — a 90°F day with 75% humidity feels closer to 100°F to your body, which dictates hydration and pacing. A 50°F day with 15 mph wind feels more like 40°F, which dictates layering and warm-up.
