Heat alerts

The NSL mandates cancelling matches where the temperature at the start of play is predicted to be in excess of 35 degrees Celsius or humidex in excess of 37 degrees Celsius at kick-off time.
Decisions should be taken around noon of days where Environment Canada (EC) predictions of high temperatures and humidex values are available. Where exact kick-off times are not stated then the average of the two closest predictions for that time should be used. For example if 6pm EC prediction is humidex 40C and 7pm is humidex 38C then estimated 6:30 KO time would be humidex 39C. Reminders of the mandated actions above should be as timely as possible but not less than 4 hours prior to kick-off times.
