The crystal ball is clearing and the weather for LDRS 35 is coming into
focus.
High temperatures will peak this weekend (June 4), and then begin easing by
the start of LDRS. Wednesday, June 8, will see a high temperature in the
mid-90s, but Thursday through Saturday high temperatures should be close to
90°F (32°C) on the lakebed. Sunday, June 12, it will begin warming again.
No precipitation is expected for as long as I care to predict.
Winds will be from the West/South-West at 12 to 15 MPH in the afternoon
next week, with calmer conditions around dawn. Gusts in the 20 to 25 MPH
range are possible in the evenings.
UV strength will range from high to extreme, so sunblock and protection
from sun exposure is very important. The only shade on the lakebed is what
you bring!
Humidity on the lakebed is expect to be around 15% to 20% all week, so
dehydration is a serious threat, especially for those who are not
acclimated to the desert South-West.
Protection from the sun and drinking plenty of water are important
considerations for anyone coming to LDRS! Keep a close eye on your children
for symptoms of heat illness, and please leave your pets at home!
Weather on the Lucerne Dry Lakebed can, and does, change in the blink of an
eye. Stay tuned for updates…
