2010 Weather Watch

[fiopadp7791]

T-Storms are no joke.

T-Storms hitting the Tesla Coil while activated = win.

But seriously, living in Phoenix we see some wicked shit during the monsoon. While the odds of being struck are not great, they aren't remote either, especially in a large field. There's a reason golfers get struck probably more than anybody.

Edit: And no, god doesn't hate golfers.

Well... that and then sticking big metal stick-like rods in the air makes then a lil more attractive.

I want that Monday 4/12 weather all weekend.

[scoop49er]

if we can get anything around 90 would be perfect!

[Leeartlee]

Every year, the forecast looks to be colder than usual, then a couple days before it goes right back to the upper 90's plus.

Truth

[Neighborhood Creep]

I'm up in Duluth/Superior and its warm here right now (61). I could care less if it rained, I rented the 200$ tent package so I won't have to deal with soggy shit on a plane

I'm such a nerd but here's what I found through the Farmer's Almanac... I interpreted the max temp to be about 10 degrees lower than actual so I added 10 degrees to all -

April 16th 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009
Max Temp 103.9 94.2 89 99.1 90.1

April 17th 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009
Max Temp 103.9 91 92.9 97.1 99.1

April 18th 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009
Max Temp 101 90.6 92.9 100 103.9


My guess is this year will be between 89-92 degrees for the three days average but its truely a crap shoot...

I interpreted the max temp to be about 10 degrees lower than actual so I added 10 degrees to all

wtf?

[Leeartlee]

The question becomes..... why have you taken the liberty to change the temps?

[TomAz]

brevity is the soul of wit.

[Bluesunshine]

Well I added 10 degrees to what they said because realistically they can't be right... Last year's Coachella was definitely not highs of 80, 89, and 93 degrees. I lived in the desert (Indio - 2 miles from the polo fields) for 6 years and I know what the weather is like. My temps are not to be an exact science, its just to get a gauge of what previous years were like...

[TomAz]

So you're right, and the trained professionals whose job it is to measure these things are wrong.


Got it.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I told you people a month ago, it will rain this year for the first time at Coachella.

what make you say that?

[Stickjohn]

Bluesunshine by any chance are you involved in climate change research?

[Stickjohn]

Hey GPS you home? How's the weather?

[Harrisment]

Well I added 10 degrees to what they said because realistically they can't be right..

But what you say can be??

[Stickjohn]

A Pacific storm that has brought strong winds to the valley has also brought some rain. Raindrops were felt in Palm Springs this afternoon. As much as a tenth of an inch could fall in the desert, according to the National Weather Service.
Sustained winds of up to 35 mph were forecast for this afternoon, with gusts over 50 mph, the National Weather Service reported.

It can get windy at Coachella.

[Gin N' Jewz]

I told you people a month ago, it will rain this year for the first time at Coachella.

This would be AMAZING

brilliance and abundance? i'm down. it is a weird trend how the temp spikes the weekend of, no matter what weekend it happens to be.

[luckyface]

And then it is even weirder how Stagecoach is a week later yet the temps drop 10 degrees for that festival. Country-loving bastards.
