Heat Index Calculator – Welcome

HEAT INDEX POLICY

When the Heat Index meets or exceeds 70°F it is recommended that all schools provide at any practice or event, a method for rapidly cooling athletes experiencing heat illness. Approved methods include ice water immersion or tarp assisted cooling with oscillation (TACO).

Schools shall monitor the heat index for their geographic area prior to practices. Outlined below are the steps that each member school shall take in order to implement this policy.

NOTE: This policy applies to all WIAA sanctioned sports and activities in all seasons. Indoor activities where air conditioning is available are not bound by this policy.

  1. DESIGNATE: Schools shall designate someone who will take the necessary steps to determine and record the heat index for your geographic area within one hour of the start of each team’s practice and events. This is only necessary on days when the forecasted heat index is 85°F or higher. Depending on practice and event schedules, it is possible that the designated person will have to record the Heat Index multiple times on the same day.

  2. CALCULATE: Within one hour of each team’s practice on days when the forecasted heat index is 85°F or higher, the designated person shall utilize the WIAA Heat Index Calculator to determine the actual heat index.

  3. RECORD: If the actual heat index is 85°F or higher, the designated person shall record it using the WIAA Heat Index Record or by printing out a copy to be kept at the school for inspection at the request of the WIAA. A separate record shall be kept for each sport at each level. Practice modification, as necessary, shall also be recorded. If the actual heat index is less than 85°F, no action is needed.

  4. ACT: If the actual heat index is 95°F or higher, activity should be altered and/or eliminated using the following guidelines:

WIAA Recommendation:  Stop all outside activity in practice and/or play and stop all inside activity if air conditioning is unavailable.

WIAA Recommendation:  Postpone practice to later in the day.

  • Maximum of 4 hours of practice per day.
  • Practice length a maximum of 2 hours, one practice shall be during a time of day with a lower heat index.
  • Mandatory 3-hour recovery period between practices.
  • Alter uniform by removing items if possible – allow for changes to dry t-shirts and shorts.
  • Contact sports and activities with additional equipment – players are restricted to helmets, shoulder pads and shorts during practice. Other possible equipment removed if not involved in contact or necessary for safety.
  • Reduce time of planned outside activity as well as indoor activity if air conditioning is unavailable.
  • Provide unlimited amounts of water.
  • Water shall always be available and athletes should be able to take in as much water as they desire.
  • Watch/monitor athletes for necessary action.

WIAA Recommendation: Consider postponing practice to later in the day.

  • Maximum of 4 hours of practice per day.
  • Practice length a maximum of 2 hours.
  • Mandatory 3-hour recovery period between practices.
  • Contact sports and activities with additional equipment – helmets and other possible equipment removed if not involved in contact or necessary for safety.
  • Provide unlimited amounts of water.
  • Water shall always be available and athletes should be able to take in as much water as they desire.
  • Watch/monitor athletes for necessary action.
  • Maximum of 5 hours of practice per day in divided sessions.
  • Provide unlimited amounts of water.
  • Water should always be available and athletes should be able to take in as much water as they desire.
  • Watch/monitor athletes for necessary action.
  • Maximum of 5 hours of practice per day in divided sessions.
  • Provide unlimited amounts of water.
  • Water shall always be available and athletes should be able to take in as much water as they desire.

CALCULATION DETAILS

A heat index is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity in an attempt to determine the human-perceived equivalent temperature; “how hot it feels.” The result is also known as the “felt air temperature” or “apparent temperature.” For example, when the temperature is 90°F with very high humidity, the heat index can be about 106°F.

The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, or sweating. Heat is removed from the body by evaporation of that sweat. However, relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate because the higher vapor content of the surrounding air does not allow the maximum amount of evaporation from the body to occur.

Temperature Table

Higher humidity results in a lower rate of heat removal from the body, hence the sensation of being overheated. This effect is subjective; however, studies have been performed to normalize heat index representation (ksi.uconn.edu).

The table above is a listing of the calculated heat index values which match the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s table. The colors correspond to WIAA’s categorization (NOTICE, CAUTION, WARNING, and DANGER).

Looking at the table, it is important to note that any temperature above 86°F will “feel” at least 86°F. Virtually every heat index will be at least the current temperature, if not hotter.

AccuWeather

The WIAA website uses a custom script to calculate a given heat index and forecasted heat index for a given location (i.e. city name or ZIP code). This is accomplished via a weather API service through AccuWeather.

This resource allows us to plug in a specific location and get back a data packet with pertinent information to determine a heat index. Specifically, we extract the returned current temperature, relative humidity, and forecasted high temperature. Our custom calculator then takes those variables to get a current heat index and a forecasted “high heat index”. The calculator will then show WIAA recommendations in accordance with the WIAA practice model.

Two variables, temperature (T) and relative humidity (R), are necessary to calculate a heat index. Given a current temperature and a relative humidity, a heat index can be calculated easily using the following polynomial equation. The formula approximates the heat index in degrees Fahrenheit and conforms to the NOAA National Weather Service’s Heat Index Lookup Table.

Heat Index Formula

This equation is the result of a multivariate fit (temperature ≥ 80°F and relative humidity ≥ 40%) to a model of the human body. This equation does not work with temperatures under 80°F nor a relative humidity under 40% (values outside of that range are assumed to be the given temperature; i.e. 96°F with relative humidity of 25% would yield a heat index of 96°F).

Heat Index Chart

There are other website services out there that can report a heat index. Those sites (like NOAA’s heat index maps) provide a heat index forecast for a broad area and are updated less frequently that the weather service WIAA implements. Most weather providers rely on National Weather Service (NWS) observation stations that are primarily located at airports and military bases. Each state only has a handful of these stations. The entire state of New York has less than fifty such sites, for example. Their reports are only accurate and relevant in the immediate vicinity of the observation station and generally updated only once every hour.

The AccuWeather API service generates forecasts with Superior Accuracy™ harnessing the expert skills of the world’s leading meteorologists in tandem with the most robust database of forecast models, most advanced global forecast engine, proprietary patents, and comprehensive validation results pinpointed for every location on Earth. This allows the WIAA Heat Index Calculator to use data for geographically specific results and up-to-date information.
It is recommended that WIAA schools check their practice location’s heat index through the WIAA Heat Index Calculator, no other site. The heat index is categorized and suggested practice modifications are provided. This helps us ensure consistency and lends an easier approach for school administrators and coaches.

PRACTICE MODEL

WIAA Handbook: Executive Board Policies (Revised 2020)

Schools and students are required to adhere to the following practice model:

  • Insert cooling tub requirements within specific sports sections or in a general area:

    • When the Heat Index meets or exceeds 70°F it is recommended that all schools provide at any practice or event, a method for rapidly cooling athletes experiencing heat illness. Approved methods include ice water immersion or tarp assisted cooling with oscillation (TACO).

If you move practices inside the same restrictions apply unless the indoor facility is climate controlled.

Must apply to all sports.

Schedules – Welcome

It is the responsibility of WIAA member schools to manage their schedules and scores using Arbiter.  For questions regarding the accuracy of information of a particular school, please contact that school’s Athletic Director.

The following is a summary of frequently asked questions and answers regarding student eligibility

Our son has been participating in school sports since 7th grade. As he just finished the 9th grade, it’s apparent that he is not growing at the same rate as his peers and is falling behind academically. We would like to have him repeat 9th grade and sit out a year of athletics. When he returns to athletics in 10th grade, will he still have 3 years of high school eligibility?

NO. Rule 18.1.0 indicates that students shall have 6 consecutive years of interscholastic eligibility. Having your son sit out a year will not extend his eligibility and that year will be counted as one of his 6 consecutive years of eligibility.

We have a student that got cleared for a sport and has been practicing with the team. However, due to academic challenges, has not participated in any competitions nor been on the eligibility list. We are beyond the date of the 50% rule and 1 week before Districts and they are now eligible academically. Can they compete in the post-season?
 
Because the student was listed on the cleared list for the sport prior to the 50% date, they are eligible for the post-season.

I have a student whose parents have never been married, although they have lived together and raised their child jointly. The adults have recently split up and the student is choosing to make a move from one parent to the other. Will they need to have a hardship hearing?

If a student is transferring schools and wishing to access rule 18.11.0C, they would need to have sufficient documentation to provide a timeline consistent with the separation. Documentation that shows the 2 adults were living in a partnership (shared lease agreement, joint bank account) and corresponding evidence of separation indicating separation of shared assests, child custody agreements, separate living and separate finances. It is the responsibility of the Athletic Director to make a determination of eligibility and if such documentation is not evident, an eligibility hearing may be necessary.

We have a new student to our school that would like to gain eligibility via rule 18.11.0C, however, the parents, due to religious reasons do not want to get a divorce. What options do they have?

When working through eligibility and the movement of students between parents or change in the family unit, documentation indicating there is a legal separation is required. People choose legal separation instead of divorce because of religious beliefs, a desire to keep the family together legally for the sake of children, the need for one spouse to keep the health insurance benefits that would be lost with a divorce, or simple aversion to divorcing despite the desire to live separate lives. Divorce and legal separation have similar effects in many ways. Both a divorce and legal separation legally create a space between the two adults. They live separately. Finances are separated. Child custody, child support, division of marital assets and debts and spousal support are all ordered by the court. A notarized letter is not enough to access rule 18.11.0C.

We have a student that recently moved into our school district. He told me he is sleeping on a friend’s couch. Does this automatically allow him to be eligible to compete at the varsity level in athletics due to being homeless?

Students that are facing homelessness are not automatically eligible for athletics. The building AD needs to work with the school/district McKinney-Vento Liaison to best support the student. The Liaison is responsible for making a determination of McKinney-Vento status. Once McKinney-Vento is established, the athletic director needs to determine if the student meets all WIAA eligibility requirements. Eligibility requirements in question should be discussed with the McKinney-Vento liaison as to best secure needed information to determine eligibility.

Do 8th graders that have the opportunity to participate in high school sports have access to the “window of transfer”? Does the fact that they played high school sports in 8th grade impact the window of transfer?

The window of transfer is between 8th and 9th grade for all schools that indicate 9th grade as the beginning of high school. Yes, an 8th grader that participated in high school sports can still access the window of transfer.

We have a student that is taking 7 classes and our school is on a 6-period day. How many classes does he need to pass to remain eligible?

This student would be held to the standards of 18.7.0 and would need to maintain passing grades in 6 classes in a 7-period class schedule or the equivalent credits.

We have a new student that is transferring into our school after just one quarter of the school year. She does not have established grades due to the limited academic time and we are trying to establish her eligibility at our school.

This student, upon withdrawing from the previous school, should have a list of classes she was actively taking and grades or academic progress that would be sent along to the new school. In the absence of such grades or proof of academic standing (or if the student was not enrolled in the first 15 school days of a semester or 10 days of a trimester), she would not be eligible to participate in contests in the current semester/trimester.

We have a student that has a 504 plan for anxiety. Her 504 plan has accommodations that allows her to come to school for 1/2 of the day which is 3 of our 6-period day. Is she allowed to take just 3 classes and remain eligible?

NO. The presence of a 504 plan does not preclude the expectations that all athletes are taking and passing the minimum number of classes. If the desire is for this student to be athletically eligible, the school will need to work with the family to provide academic offerings that will allow her to both meet the academic expectations and accommodate the 504 plan.

We have a student that is attending an alternative program without athletics and accessing our public school for athletics. She is in a program that takes just 1 class (.5 credit) at a time. How do I establish and maintain her eligibility?

You would need to ensure she is maintaining passing grades or the minimum grade standard for your school in order to maintain athletic eligibility. For instance, if your school is a 6-period day, this is the equivalent of 3 credits. These 3 credits are being earned over, let’s say, 12 weeks. The girl in question would need to earn a .5 credit every 2 weeks to maintain the equivalent academic progress as other student-athletes in your school. It would be the collaborative responsibility to set up a verification system for this student on a regular basis.
