Wow, I played during the heat spell on Monday, around 88 degrees, approaching 90. Seriously, I almost suffered from heat exhaustion, hitting with my 4.0 bud who hits hard and flat. Had to drink a whole one liter Gatorate, at one time, and sit for 10 minutes in the shade. Could hardly breathe. We had only hit for 20 minutes.
Oh, second attempt at a serve, DunlopHDHardcourt balls, bounced chest high on the backboard, on a slight mishit swung at maybe 90% speeds.

Well, I grew up in the fog belt in SanFrancisco, 45th Ave. and Santiago, 3 blocks from OceanBeach.
Summers, we'd get blocks of 15-30 days without seeing the sun, any time of the day or night.
Winters, we get plenty of sun between the rain, but temps likely 42-55 degrees. Downtown SanFrancisco, or where PacBell Park is located, might be 65 degrees while the Sunset District get's to 54 by 3PM, in AUGUST.
Our hottest time, Indian Summer, is right now. Right now, in SanFrancisco, it's 59 degrees, with fog blowing in strong for a 30 degree cool off after this hot weekend.
Here in SanPablo, about 14 miles inland, it's still warm out after the 4 day heat spell, about 70 right now just past noon.

Never complained about the temp but when it starts to snow, forgetaboutit.

Coldest I've ever played in is 37 degrees at 12 midnight. We just felt like playing, what can I say.

I'll take 88-90 any day IF the rain will finally stop.

34 but sunny was not a problem at all. The sun and no wind makes huge difference.

I played on the side of Sweat Mountain, Georgia for winter mixed doubles about 20 years ago. The air temperature was in the low 30s but the wind was gusting to 30 MPH. The courts are cut out of the side of the mountain. So, you are basically playing on a plateau open on 3 sides with the mountain on the fourth side. On the open sides, you are up above the trees at the foot of the mountain. The wind chill temperature was around 5-10F. On one side, you could hit it absolutely as hard as your could and it would still go in. On the other side, it was difficult to get it to stay in unless you used a ton of spin and just barely cleared the net. It was kind of like the 2012 USO. This was not fun tennis but we won.

Coldest tennis for me was outdoors in St Louis in winter 2007, IIRC below 30*.

We played at -10 celsius under that sun. best feeling ever sometimes and you never get tired. at first it's winter jacket, then sweater, then tshirts. the problem is when you stop and the wind gets to you
