The warmer weather recently affects how the lanes conditions break down compared to the stretch of cold temperatures of the last several weeks. The warm temperatures heat up the whole building so the lanes will break down relatively uniformly rather than be subject to the circulation caused by the center’s heating system. This still means that adjustments to lane conditions have to be made based on your ball reaction. The warm weather should help to keep each pair of lanes close to being the same.

Good luck bowling and have fun striking out!
