Simplified outdoor Wet Bulb Globe Temperature
Significant heat load expected this window (peak WBGT approx 30 degC around 14:00 SAST, 10h at/above the high-risk threshold). If athletes training or competing here are not already heat-acclimatized, begin a progressive heat acclimatization block now (roughly 60-90 min submaximal exercise in the heat daily for 7-14 days) ahead of exposure; this improves plasma volume, sweat response and cardiovascular efficiency, lowering heat-illness risk and supporting performance. Favor early-morning/evening sessions during this window and prioritize hydration and cooling strategies around the peak hours.
