Playing Fort Lauderdale, FL
Fort Lauderdale faces east onto the Atlantic in the subtropics, so it sits in the path of the prevailing easterly trade winds — a fairly steady onshore flow that's part of most days rather than a sharp afternoon shift. Summer afternoons bring the usual South Florida pop-up storms, quick and heavy, as the day's main wildcard. The warm climate keeps league and pickup play running year-round.
