- Our programs are designed to operate in both dry and wet weather. In the event of bad weather, we will work with our participants for postponement. Bad weather is defined as
1) poor visibility (reduced to less than 1 km; cannot see Singapore from Pulau Ubin),
2) lightning is local (our mobile lightning detectors indicate 0 – 5 miles),
3) wind is too strong (Beaufort 5; 16-20 knots; Fresh Breeze; Many whitecaps, small amounts of spray).
However, the likelihood of bad weather is low, and occasions, where programs did not proceed, were few and far in between. Our leaders will make the decision to a postponement when bad weather persists for more than 1 hour from the scheduled start time of the program. Participants not present will be treated as no show, and the penalty charge is 100 percent of the program fees.
