Heatwatch (August 26/27/28)

There is a also a middle ground here and that is "heat acclimation." Inland athletes should be much more acclimated to the heat, whereas, coastal kids may have issues. For my "inland" athlete, 100 degrees is hot, but nothing that his system isn't acclimated too. A kid (or referee) from a more temperate climate is going to struggle, especially if not in good shape or well hydrated.
 
I don't know how it was in Silverlakes yesterday, but Irvine wasn't that bad. I think the high was only about 89 according to my dashboard. Saturday morning was actually worse because it was unusually humid. But definitely have seen them play in much worse conditions before. We once had a game in San Bernardino that was 108. The tournament shortened the halves and gave plenty of water breaks, and there were no issues. But it was a dry heat. Ha.
 
I was at silverlakes all sat and sun. Sunday was better than Saturday. The only really tough time was for about an hour around noon as it was hot and no wind yet. Once the wind kicked in it was good. Mornings were really pleasant.

That's not possible. All games should have been shut down. Children were supposed to spontaneously combust into ashes. Do you care about the kids? You're a typical play and win at all costs parent. Sheesh.
