60 degrees. Light rain all morning - not downpouring but definitely needing umbrellas and jackets. Most kids came to school wearing their field day t-shirt and shorts. We were outside from 8:30-11:30, and now headed back out from 1-3:15. The rain isn't supposed to stop until 3:00.
When I was a kid field day always seemed to be the day it was 90 degrees outside, with no shade (and no sunscreen either, because it was the 80s). Having it happen when it was 60 degrees and raining would have been awesome.
You warm weather people are adorable :-) Seriously, though. Mud! Puddles! Fewer sunburns!
This is exactly what I thought.
They'd be fine. Admittedly 60 is like the cold-limit for me w rain but like PP said, they're going to be running around and expending energy. They'll heat up and be fine.
DS would love that and I'd be fine with it for a while, but that's a really long time. Is this like recess or is it an actual field trip where they left school grounds?

DS2 (6 yo) went to an outdoor birthday party on Sunday at a local farm, where they did a corn maze and a hay ride in a torrential downpour. At first I felt awful for the birthday girl, but every single kid loved it. DS thought it was the best party he'd ever been to. I want to say it was low 60's? I was miserable, lol.

I hated field day, as it was (see also: recess, PE class, playground playdates, biddy basketball). I would have been on the fence crying if my teachers made me go outside in the rain - let alone for 5 hours!
