Best climate for a year-round professional baseball, soccer, and tennis.

[Jas182]

Ideally, Overcast skies and a cool max of 20c (68f), with a mild min of 15c (59f) would be ideal for a sports climate year round. Rain would be confined to the early hours of the morning to keep everything nice and green.
However, we Brits (except in professional games as professionals are wimps!(apparently pussi*s is censored, that's not even a swear word? is it? LOL)) will play in whatever the weather - we play football (real football!) even when it's snowing, or with torrential rain, or when the sun is shinning at 45 degrees! That is because we are British and the weather never stops us from a good game! LOL

Soccer needs a perfect pitch, so it can't be too arid or too sunny. Most of the artificial turfs are in the extreme north and south in Europe.

Porto, Portugal then.

I know, but these topics seem to come up every fortnight or so - "best annual weather for walking", "outdoor activities", etc. People would then usually bring up mild desert climates, like as if they're the only comfortable places in the world.

I've had the most longest outdoor activities here in Sydney and we were never disrupted by sudden rain or anything.

My point is, you don't have to be extremely dry and overly mild to be 'comfortable'.

How about this. What is comfortable year round weather for outdoor activities? Whatever you like the most. Because, that's what it ultimately boils down to. I don't know if you know ColdCanadian, but he's a (former?) poster on here that has anemia and finds temps below 25C to be uncomfortably cold. Likewise, Cambium finds temps above 15C to start getting uncomfortable. When I was a teenager, I played basketball with my friends in a Cairns-type climate and found it to be comfortable for me, but others would hate that. So, my politically correct revised answer to the OP's question would be, whatever your preference is

How did tennis ever take off in Britain? The climate is completely rubbish for it, same with cricket (even if it doesn't rain, there's always the infamous "bad light", which to some teams/umpires seems to mean 2 clouds in the sky).

Soccer is a winter sport in most of Europe (except Scandinavia); it doesn't get called off here very often as most of the top clubs have undersoil heating. 20-odd years ago it was common to see Premier League games being played on swamps but now most pitches are kept in good condition throughout- except for the new Wembley which has had all sorts of problems due to it being built so as to never get any sunlight on the grass, even when they don't close the roof.

What you on about, the climate for tennis is perfect in Spring, Summer and September... The rest of the year is poor, but I still play the game when I can.

Cricket? Why the heck did the boring crap take off in the first place! LOL
