 KNBSB comes with weather advice due to high temperatures

 NIEUWEGEIN (Neth.) -
The Royal Dutch Baseball and Softball Association (KNBSB) on Wednesday (July 1) published a weather advice on its website due to the expected high temperatures coming Saturday.
The text is a follows:
At the moment, there is a nice weather prediction for coming Saturday.
Nice, as it appears to become more and more a nice Summer in the Netherlands.
But the predictions also list expected temperartures of 33 to 36 degrees Celsius (91,4 through 96,8 Fahrenheit), according to the KNMI.
The difficult part is that this is a prediction of which we don't know whether it indeed will be that hot.
The predictions can be different in two days, but we understand that this can go both ways.
Because of this, the KNBSB will not cancel games.
We leave this to those associated with the games, including umpires, executives, coaches.
This of course, always after contacting each other.
The advice from the KNBSB for scheduled games that have starting times between 12 and 3 PM is to move these as much as possible to a later part of the day.
After 3 PM, the highs have probably been reached and it makes it better to play.
We advise for all games that all players wear caps, use sunblock, drink enough water, stay as much in the dug-out (shadow) as possible and schedule at least one drinking pause during the game.
We advice everyone to use common sense to come together to a good decision.
Closely look at the coming two days, as everything can change.
Stay in touch with each other and think about the situation together!
