Coachella 2009 Weather Watch

[rskapcat]

I am going to have to bring different pants for when the sun goes down. Eff 50 degree weather. I do NOT tolerate the cold as well as I did 15 years ago. I guess the Cut Copy hoodie will get some action as well. I'll be supah-sexy in my sweats in the evening. Rock on.

[Boourns]

So glad I'm not camping.

[rskapcat]

You and me both, Frank. I'll be miserable enough in the cold without having to crawl into a cold tent and try to sleep. Where are you staying?

[Boourns]

Staying in Palm Desert. I'm looking at the place on google maps and it looks pretty close.

[rskapcat]

We're at the Indian Palms. Hooray for walking distance!

[ivankay]

Whoo hoo, Indain Palms! we got to do a head count soon to see who is all there. If the weather is in the 80's, you got a nice walk happening. i still think biking might be more fun for you. Someone posted a google map here from the Palms to the Polo Fields and got 1.8 miles. Not too bad on a nice day.

[eskamo951]

Yeah and I was FREEZING. I remember friday night and sunday being particularly miserable for me last year. I just get so cold!

I can't manage anything under 60...i know how you feel. And last year's heat wasn't so bad...but I love me some heat.

[sbessiso]

We can keep each other warm, Travis

[momof5]

I also would rather be really hot during the day than cold at night. At least when it is roasting during the day you can look for relief when the sun goes down. But shivering through the night is terrible for me . Besides,putting up with 100' is part of Coachella tradition and keeps the crowd dedicated to the music.Its not a picnic!

[BROKENDOLL]

We're at the Indian Palms. Hooray for walking distance!

If the wind ends up blowing like it did last night, I'll be walking with you! You could ask me if we're in Kansas yet, and I could say, "No, not yet,ToTo..." Then again, you could tell me to go fly a kite...and I would!

Whoo hoo, Indain Palms! we got to do a head count soon to see who is all there. If the weather is in the 80's, you got a nice walk happening. i still think biking might be more fun for you. Someone posted a google map here from the Palms to the Polo Fields and got 1.8 miles. Not too bad on a nice day.

I'm hoping it was just God's housekeeper dusting and tidying up the desert before company arrives in 2 weeks! Then again it could have been his gardener using one of those garden blowers over in the Palm Springs area, and blowing that shit over here to Indio! Either way, I spent last nite sneezing and wondering where the hell snot comes from! BTW...You won't need to count our heads, but you may see mine sneaking in/out of Indian Palms during the weekend...

[emtgreg]

The wind blows!

[MichaelDominick]

Highs here are still in the low thirties. Lows in the forties at night will be warm in comparison.

[BROKENDOLL]

The wind blows!

And, it sucks...don't forget that!

[ArcadeParade]

Whoo hoo, Indain Palms! we got to do a head count soon to see who is all there. If the weather is in the 80's, you got a nice walk happening. i still think biking might be more fun for you.

Fuck ya Indian Palms livin!

Not a good idea to use that as your basis, weather can change drastically in a matter of days.

[sacleonard]

All three days could feel like that one day in 2005. Mid-80s, maybe some clouds... or maybe not...

[LameCake]

I should buy one of these to bring:

[redthreat]

you guys are pussies. complaining about 50 degree weather and thanking god that you aren't camping. you should be ashamed of yourselves.

[SFChrissy]

Hey Bev...Let us know how serious the sprinkles are this week, please!!!

[malcolmjamalawesome]

This will be Coachella's finest hour.

[feather]

Hmmm this weather is lookin' nice!

[mvanwinkle]

I like coachella being hot..

[Sonicifyouwantit]

looks like the weather will be exactly how I've wanted it to be for years!

[scoop49er]

well thelast 2 years it was hot as fuck. however sunday last year was very reasonable and it was cold at night...

im bringing a long sleeve and putting it in the locker to be on the safe side..

if it does change it may go to maybe, maybe low 90's so i dont think we will see any 95-102 weather this year! im down with it!

[SFChrissy]

I think think the biggest attraction of moving the dates us is comfortable weather and a safety issue hopefully avoiding less incidents of heat stroke & dehydration. yayyyy...

[Alchemy]

I like coachella being hot..

Me too. It means I get to sweat instead of pee.

[stuporfly]

80s during the day with a crisp night air would please me tremendously. And really, that's what most important about Coachella.

[faxman75]

well thelast 2 years it was hot as fuck. however sunday last year was very reasonable and it was cold at night...

Odd, I found the coldest night to be Thursday night. I was shivering under my sleeping back all night. The other two nights I was fine.

I can't wait for this beautiful weather.

[redthreat]

So glad I'm not camping.

too bad you won't be able to hit the dome afterparties though.
