FIELD FLOW
Four steps instead of a frozen calendar
- 1Enter the actual travel date and region; a national season label is not a local condition.
- 2Open the official forecast and the operator notice before paying for a weather-dependent activity.
- 3Save one indoor or lower-exposure fallback in the same district.
- 4After visiting, record the real place and date in Footprints and report a changed condition to the community.
PACK
Pack for the exposure
- Carry water and a light layer; shade and wind differ around the river and hills.
- Use public transport and a named exit when festival road controls apply.
- Keep picnics off roots, planted beds and pedestrian flow.
STOP SIGNALS
What overrides the itinerary
- A severe-weather, flood, wind-wave, heavy-snow, heat or cold alert overrides the itinerary.
- Closed gates, barriers, lifeguard instructions and transport suspensions are final even when another app looks clear.
- Turn back for worsening visibility, numbness, confusion, heat-illness symptoms, lightning, unstable surf or ice.
DEVICE-ONLY PLAN
Plan the good-weather day and the bad-weather day
The season is a planning bucket, not a local forecast. Reopen KMA and the operator notice on the day.PLANNING SEASONChoose a dateNot a bloom, foliage, snow or opening claim
