Many countries in the world including Singapore, are seeing rising temperatures. According to NEA, the last ten years from 2013 to 2022 was Singapore’s warmest decade on record. On 13 May 2023, Ang Mo Kio recorded a 37 degrees Celsius air temperature, similar to the record set on 17 April 1983. It is therefore important for the sporting fraternity to prepare and adapt to rising temperatures.

This Plan aims to help the sporting fraternity better prepare, plan and respond during severe hot weather and reduce heat injury risks in sport. It also provides information for persons participating in outdoor activities especially during heightened levels of heat stress.
