What WHSAA’s document says
WHSAA publishes no WBGT policy and no heat thresholds, in its 2026-27 Handbook or on its sports medicine page. Under Heat Related Illness, that page links NFHS material and the NFHS online course, and says “The WHSAA recommends taking the time to take this short, free class.” So there is no Wyoming WBGT table for us to show you.
We won’t show another state’s WBGT thresholds in its place: regional tables differ by several degrees. Follow the policy your school, district or league has adopted. For general heat guidance at your field, open the map.
WHSAA Sports Medicine: Heat Related IllnessThis is a plain-language summary to help you plan. It is not legal advice, and it is not the association’s document. Associations revise these policies often. Confirm what currently applies with your school, district or association.
What else to know
- WHSAA’s handbook limits football practice days and practice length (Rule 7.7.12), but those limits are not tied to any heat reading.
- Its other weather rules set no heat reading either: a playoff-site rule on outdoor playing conditions covers temperature and wind, and Nordic skiing rules let the jury postpone for high temperature or humidity.
How to read this
We found no WBGT limits in WHSAA’s document, and no other measured heat limit, so there is no table to show. Your school or district may still have its own heat policy, so ask.
Before you rely on this
- This page summarizes WHSAA’s document. It does not replace it. If they differ, go by the document and by the policy your school or league has adopted.
- Confirm what currently applies with your school, district or association. Many schools adopt their own version.
- Any WBGT number WetBulbTracker shows is a modeled estimate for planning, not an official reading. Where a policy calls for an on-site reading, that reading governs.
- This page does not replace an athletic trainer’s judgment.
