Stormy conditions present unique challenges in the field of sports medicine. Heavy rain, thunderstorms, lightning, hurricanes, or even tornadoes can drastically affect the safety and well-being of athletes, spectators, and medical teams. Proper planning and disaster preparedness are essential to mitigate the risks associated with such conditions, ensuring that events can be managed safely and effectively. Environmental exposure to high winds can place athletes at risk of dangerous traumatic injuries that may be more severely contaminated when compared to indoor or more protected environments and situations. Lightning causes a unique pattern of injuries that can be catastrophic. This recognizing risk and getting to a safe covered place is critical to prevention. Instituting standardized protocols across all sports when addressing stormy conditions, particularly lightning, will provide a more uniform and safe approach to protecting athletes in the stormy environment.
