a games show's final day and an equestrian programme already cancelled, and a spring holiday under an orange storm alert

The cancellations are decided; the crowd decisions are not. In Tokyo the storm has already taken a games show's final day and postponed the Asian Games equestrian programme, both called ahead of the water — the cheapest version of that decision, and the one that only exists with days of notice. In Buenos Aires the first day of spring is a mass-outdoor day under an orange severe-storm alert carrying hail and gusts above 100 km/h, which is a shelter-and-shutdown plan rather than a cancellation. Southern Brazil's three states are under a red alert for the whole day, tornado risk included in parts. And on our own monitored Adriatic coast the heat peaks today near 34 °C with the wind pulse firming to about 80 km/h in-window inland — internal context, an open-air comfort and rigging question rather than a warning.
