Subject: [roc-chat] LDRS 35 Weather Guesstimate
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…
