I beleive it has rained at every roo to some extent. I didn't go in 05, but last year it was hot and sunny up to the last couple hours of the festival when it rained.
I feel like it rained more in 03 than in 04 except for that mud in 04 was absolutely hideous. I'm not really sure what happened. But I do remember ALOT of showers in 03. My memory is a little foggy but maybe it just rained harder in 04? I don't know the science behind mud but 04 had the worst. 05 was pleasant but hot. I remember it sprinkling here and there and oddly in specific spots only too. I didn't attend in 2006 but from what I hear it was the best weather yet. Funny thing though, one of my friends from Memphis said that the weather in 06 was actually kind of chilly to him. Tells you something about how living in the south can make you immune to heat.

^^^^ Your exactly right. 03 on Fri & Sat seemed to rain non-stop, but the only downpours were at night. in 04 the rain was started early and was BIBLICAL....but only Sat night and Sun afternoon. Thats how I remember it, but I was having a good time so I could be mistaken.

last year was the only year i've been to bonnaroo, and the weather was beautiful. the only time it rained was on sunday, and it was only short drizzles every now and then.
I had a good time in the "OH MY GAWD I'M GONNA DROWN" rain we had a few years ago. I'd perfer some rain to compared to last year. The dust just killed me.

I wouldn't mind rain at all during the night. Rain has this therapeutic sound that puts me into a deep deep sleep. I love it. So, lets go with 80 degrees and sunny with a slight, cool breeze during the day and light cool drizzles at night. That'd be the tits!

it really is cooler in manchester than it is in memphis. it's much more humid here.
even when first we arrived, we noticed that it wasn't nearly as hot as it "should have been" for that time of day. and because it's much more humid in memphis, the chilly nights were totallly unexpected as well (we nearly froze). i was so surprised that there could be such a difference in weather just a few hours away from home. needless to say, we thought it was awesome.
2005: Lightly rained/sprinkled the entire time. Kept it nice and cool but, pretty muddy by sunday.
Um... were we at the same festival? In 2005 the remnants of a hurricane came through--- true that for most of the time it was just sprinkles, but there was a hellish period where lightning threatened the Jack Johnson performance (while people were climbing the tree), it was pouring, and when we returned to camp stuff was blowing everywhere. It turned out to be more overall benign than the year before, but there was a really nasty period. Lots of wind that year towards the last 24 hours.

^didn't seem that bad to me. I don't know. Maybe, after the biblical "god-says-fuck-you" rain of '04, it didn't hit me that hard. There was some nasty lightning but, the rain wasn't that bad. I don't know but, it seemed pretty uneventful to me.

honestly i prefer the heat to the rain, id rather be hot and sweaty than cool and muddy maybe its just me. i mean the rain doesnt bother and the 05 weather wasnt so bad aside from the slippery walks

The only rain I saw in '02 was one big black cloud that rolled over the crowd right before Phil & Bobby came out on Sunday afternoon. Poured for about 5 good minutes and then went on its merry way. Cooled everybody out. Give me sunny, hot, and dusty over rainy, muddy, and all my stuff being soaked any day of the week.

I'm a Memphibian so I'm used to it all. I'd say a perfect balance in between would be the best. Enough rain to keep it cool but also enough sun to keep it warm.

2006: Extremely pleasant! Not too hot. Nice Breeze. Rained late sunday.
a replay of '06 would be f*cking ideal!
its so shocking that you didnt think it was too hot. you must live on the equator. and wear sweaters. while in a sauna. as a normal daily routine.
i wouldnt say that it was too hot, but i do say that it was too hot for the little amount of shade provided.
but the heat is better than the rain. cant argue with that. however, why have a fest in an area thats highly prone to both? that will never make sense to me.
