Officials Briefing

Lightning:

Use the 30/30 Lightning Rule.

If the time between the lightning flash and the thunder sound is less than 30 SECONDS then play should be suspended, and not resumed until 30 MINUTES after the last thunder (30 seconds relates to 10 Kilometres away). •

Find safe shelter. Sturdy buildings are the safest place to be during lightning storms. Avoid sheds, picnic shelters, metal coaching boxes and goals. Staying in a car with windows closed also offers some protection.

Note: Thunder is not usually heard 24-32 kilometres from the lightning strike.
