I've lived in TN my entire life, and live just up the road from my soon to be 5th Bonnaroo and this one is going to be a scorcher. I'm out packing the camper and sweating like the proverbial pig.
I expect good ole TN humidity and 90 degree+ days. At least one day of thunderstorms. It won't be the dust bowl of 07 and I don't think it will be floods of 04. But what the hell, it's Bonnaroo!
Pack and drink lots of water and wear a hat. Cheers
It's weird - - it's like we've had these mild(ish) temps and then just when it's time for Bonnaroo it freakin spikes. This was our first 100 degree weekend of the year down here.
I'm still hoping that the current forecast holds. (Thunderstorms and mid-80's temps.) I know, I know, wishful thinking but we've had really dry weather the last two Roos and I hope we're due. Either way, you can't control the weather so you just plan for the worst and maybe end up pleasantly surprised!
The forecast says cooler but not by much. Last year temps around 90 and heat indices in the mid 90's, this year temps inthe upper 80's heat indices inthe low 90's
Let's hope the forecast holds because right now it's about 10 degrees hotter than last year.
It's flippin hot today... When I went to get some lunch,around 1:15, I passed a digital sign reading 97 degrees. Probably closer to 92 or 93 but either way, it's still hot. Granted, I'm in the "city" so it's always a bit hotter here, but I felt like I was melting when I was doing some chores outside!

I'm still hoping for that front to bring some cooler temps. If not, I live in central Texas. We've had record heat over the past month. I think I'll be acclimated just fine.

This is the most recent 6-10 day climate prediction forecast... As you can see there is a high probability that Manchester will be experiencing above average temperatures during Bonnaroo... I predict hotter and more humid than last year... ugh

My A/C just went out on me over the weekend, and can't get anybody to come out and fix it before we leave for roo, so we'll be getting acclimated to the heat this week.

But its freakin' cold here in Seattle. 54 was the high this Saturday. I had a fire in my fireplace just to keep warm. Its pouring rain and grey...atypical for this time of year. I'm looking forward to the heat...I know ask me when I'm there what I think of the heat.
This global warming thing is doing some pretty freaky stuff!
For those that are locals do you think it will be hotter or cooler overall than last year?
Hot as balls, dude! Even though temps in the upper 80's are mostly expected with isolated and scattered thunderstorms coming through everyday of the festival, don't count on not seeing the sun at all especially those first two days. Sun + moisture in the air= high humidity and a larger chance of sunburn.
The water in the air acts as a prism for the sun's rays and actually scorches you even more than if it were dry.

The cold front hasn't come through yet. The major heat wave moves out tomorrow. Don't worry guys, it will be hot but not unbearable, typical southern summer weather.
I had an adult league soccer match yesterday and it was 103 on the field. If I can take that, I can take anything Roo has to dish out.

What the hell is going on with alaska there?
That map just indicates that they're expected to be above their average. It doesn't mean that they've got higher temps than us.
Be careful out there!
