Turf Temperature Calculator

What is Turf Temperature?

Turf temperature refers to the temperature of the grass or artificial turf surface. It is usually higher than the air temperature due to the heat absorbed from the sun. This is important for athletes and groundskeepers to ensure safe playing conditions.

How to Use the Tool

Input Fields

1. Enter Current Air Temperature (F): Input the current air temperature to find the turf temperature.
2. Enter Turf Temperature (F): Input the known turf temperature to find the air temperature.

Example Values

Let’s say the current air temperature is 85°F, and you want to find the turf temperature.

Formula

The formula used in the calculator is:

Calculation Examples

Example 1

• Current Air Temperature (AT): 85°F

Calculation:

Calculate the turf temperature: $\text{TT}=85+65=150$

Result: The turf temperature is 150°F.

Example 2

• Current Air Temperature (AT): 72°F

Calculation:

Calculate the turf temperature: $\text{TT}=72+65=137$

Result: The turf temperature is 137°F.
