On hot days our organisation never knows whether to cancel an event or not to ensure the safety of our participants. What temperature should we cancel?
Unfortunately making a decision on the cancellation of sporting events in hot weather is not as simple as picking a temperature, there are many other factors associated with making this decision. A big factor is the humidity of the day as high humidity interferes with the bodys cooling mechanism. For that reason a better measure is the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature which takes into account the humidity at the time of play. You can access the WBGT by clicking here.
