Best ever out of 7 Roos. Rain Friday was a bitch but it cooled eveything off for the rest of the weekend and left very little mud so it was well worth it.

Aside from the rain on Friday- Beautiful weekend! That rain fukked my site for all of bonnaroo. We were parked by an RV about fifty yards from the arch, and our entire site turned into swamp land that never dried. There were so many people trying to cut through that we had to warn to go around, haha. Our tent had about two or three inches of standing water in it- Bleh. But while we were away from our site, the the weather was great!
i thought it felt a whole heck of a lot better than last year, that's for sure. i wasn't too fond of the rain considering the mud it left behind and the fact that it screwed up my new friend's phone so we couldn't get in touch and hang out again...but otherwise it was good. it was hot for a little while on thursday so i just camped out under this tent and then it was kinda hot on sunday but not too bad. i looved with the breeze would blow!
I just wish there was some better communication about the weather. I left Saturday morning in rain clothes (since it was raining) and the rain stopped prior to my even hitting Centeroo (I had a 2 mile walk). I was boiling most of the day. (For the record, I was the dumbass walking around in black rainpants rolled up over my knees for the rest of the day.)
I didnt think the rain was bad but i was asleep.. i could sleep threw a tornado... our tent stayed dry there was a few drips got in but i was prepared with how i set my tent up under a tarp and a tarp underneath it .. although everyone else in our camp got soaked... my g/f best friend and there friends had alot of water get in and all their stuff was soaked....the little bit it rained while we were out i thought was a great break from the heat
It was pretty nice this year. Pretty cool every day except Sunday. The only thing that bummed me out was the rain Friday night. I could do without that next year. I wanted to stay at My Morning Jacket longer, but I was cold and my shoes were soaked.
p.s. Nice signature trecraven

The weather was stellar...a little hot at times, but we always found shade or used our mist fans to cool down. Thankfully, our camp stayed dry during Friday's monsoon. Unfortunately, we didn't...but that MMJ show was worth it!
the rain Friday night was a big bummer for me - I was fine at MMJ, but when we tried to go to Superjam and it started really pouring, I wimped out. In the end, it was all good but at the time I was really sad. Luckily we had really prepped our campsite so all our stuff stayed dry and I had a pink poncho to wear.
But then the extra bright sun and heat on Sunday felt all that much better because of it!
I thought the weather was awesome, except for our campsite flooding on Friday night w/ at least a 1/2 a foot of rain throughout our tarp/carpet, but this was only due to poor planning on our part. We cleaned it up and it was good from then on out!

The weather was GREAT! I rode the rain out at the silent disco. Our tent stayed pretty dry, but our friends got kinda wet. All in all, hands down, best weather yet.

we set up a tarp over our campsite friday just in time for the rain so we stayed pretty dry it was my first roo and i think our group was well prepared (all thanks to inforoo hail corncat!!)
If you could guarantee me that same weather for every Bonnaroo from now on I think I'd take it. The last two years were super hot and dusty. I'll take cooler and one night of rain any time.
i'll take some sprinkles instead of the dust from last year any time and the temp was perfect until sunday but by that time the crowds had thinned out enough that finding shade was never a problem
I thought it was beautiful, but I still have a low tolerance for heat so Sunday was pretty harsh for me. The rain also kept me in my tent after my pre-MMJ nap
I loved the heat! dumping a bucket of water over my head always seemed to do the trick. The rain on Friday convinced me that if i ever go again only bring a canopy for shade and sleep in my car.
I would've liked it to be dry for MMJ though!
