| WBGT (°F) | Risk | NWS Suggested Action |
|---|---|---|
| < 80 | Low | Normal activity |
| 80 – 85 | Moderate | Take at least 15 min breaks each hour in direct sunlight |
| 85 – 88 | High | Take at least 30 min breaks each hour in direct sunlight |
| 88 – <90 | Very High | Take at least 40 min breaks each hour in direct sunlight |
| ≥ 90 | Extreme | Take at least 45 min breaks each hour in direct sunlight |
These are NWS's suggested actions from an experimental, prototype WBGT product — not an operational requirement. WBGT shown here is a modeled estimate, not a direct measurement. District heat policy controls actual practice.

Nationwide / DC TFRs
Published with STATE recorded as nationwide/DC rather
than a specific state, but these DO carry FAA boundary geometry — checked against BHS
like any other mapped TFR (see the OVER BHS marking if one applies).
TFRs without mapped boundaries
On the FAA's active list but not published with a
boundary in the mapping feed — mostly standing nationwide/DC security restrictions.
These cannot be checked against the BHS campus geometrically; the FAA TFR map shows
each one.
The feed returned the maximum
number of features it allows per request — this list may be incomplete. The FAA TFR map
has the full set.
NWS forecast model blocks, not hourly observations — wind, gusts,
ceiling, and visibility arrive as multi-hour blocks (typically 3–12 hours) and repeat the same
value across every row inside a block. When a layer returns a single value spanning a whole day
or more it is filler rather than a forecast, and the column shows “--” instead of
repeating it down the table.

Before a flight
This page is advisory. Under §107.19 the remote pilot in command is the
final authority for the operation — conditions overhead can differ from any forecast or nearby
station report, in either direction. What's on site is what counts, and confirming it is the RPIC's job.
Which rules apply
Program flights happen two ways: under Part 107, with the instructor as
remote pilot in command and a student on the controls (§107.12(a)(2) — which also requires the RPIC to be able to
immediately take direct control), and under the
recreational exception (49 U.S.C. §44809, TRUST certificate). The FAA limits on this page
are cited by section; the program's own (the 22 mph wind limit, the rain alert) are marked as the program's.
The program applies both to every flight.
On a recreational flight the legally operative standard is the safety guidelines of an FAA-recognized
community-based organization together with §44809's own conditions — 400 ft AGL in Class G,
visual line of sight, and authorization in controlled airspace — none of which is looser than what
this page enforces.
