Heat stress management plan for sport fraternity

The Heat Stress Management Plan aims to help the sporting fraternity better prepare during severe hot weather

Last updated 2 April 2025

Background

Based on Singapore’s Third National Climate Change (V3) projections coupled with Singapore’s long term temperature records, there is a clear warming trend brought on by climate change. In addition, we also see climate drivers like the El Nino driving higher temperatures in Singapore from time to time. Therefore, whole of government has been stepping up heat response measures, including the launch of the heat stress advisory (HSA) in April 2023 which is a jointly managed by the National Environment Agency (NEA), Ministry of Manpower (MOM), Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Workplace Safety and Health Council (WSHC). This advisory system provides the public with information about heat stress risk levels and recommended precautionary measures to raise awareness of heat stress and provide the public with real-time information. The public can access these advisories through the myENV mobile app or the NEA website, helping them plan outdoor activities and take appropriate precautions during periods of high heat stress risk.


Climate Change

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.
