6 ECB EXTREME HEAT GUIDELINES FOR THE RECREATIONAL GAME JUNE 2026
There is imminent danger of a lightning strike if:
• You feel your hair standing on end
• There is crackling in the air
• There is sudden thunder without lightning
Remember- There is no safe place outside in a thunderstorm
Never lie flat on the ground during a lightning storm. If you can get into a sturdy building or a car do this at once.
* The’ 30 / 30 Rule’- Get indoors when thunder is audible within 30 seconds after you see the associated flash( the‘ flash to bang time’) and don’ t venture out until thunder has not been heard for 30 minutes.
