What happens if the weather is poor?
The City of Redlands Athletic Fields weather policy is as
follows:
WEATHER POLICY
If field permits have been canceled due to weather, a
phone call and email will be sent out to the permit holder’s
organization and a refund or credit will be given for any
dates that are effected. The City of Redlands weather policy
follows reports from https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/redlands/92373/hourly-weather-forecast/331975.
Rain Policy: Staff will determine if a
permit will be cancelled due to rain by monitoring the evening’s
forecast on the AccuWeather website the day before at noon. If
the forecast predicts a 60% chance of rain during the hours of
the permit, the permit will be cancelled. Should the weather defy
the forecast, Redlands Recreation Staff will cancel the permit if
is raining before the start of the permit and/or if the
permit area is significantly wet and unsafe for
participants.
Excessive Heat Policy: Permit
holders will be notified if an Extreme Heat Warning has been
issued by the City of Redlands during permit hours.
High Wind Policy: Staff will determine if
an event will be cancelled due to high winds by monitoring the
forecast on the AccuWeather website the day before at noon. If
winds are predicted to average 40 miles per hour or greater, or
if wind gusts are expected at 58 miles per hour or greater during
the hours of the permit, the permit will be cancelled.
In addition if trees and power lines are blown down in the
surrounding area, the permit will also be cancelled.
