About this event
Grenada's carnival, with road events, judging points and large outdoor crowds.
Weather sensitivities
- Heavy rain during road events
- Heat stress across long outdoor sessions
- Lightning at open assembly points
Decision thresholds
| If this happens | The organiser |
|---|---|
| Heavy rain during a road march | Stewards manage footing and drainage at known problem points |
| Feels-like temperature above 40 °C | Increase water points and shaded rest areas |
| Lightning within 10 km | Clear open assembly areas and pause the programme |
Typical conditions for the period
August falls in the wet season, so short heavy showers are likely on any given day and rarely last long.
Heat, not rain, is usually the greater risk to participants during daytime road events.
