Post by: fatskippy on August 01, 2007, 01:05:00 pm
High of 98 and sunny both days.  Smart thinking whoever decided to schedule this at the beginning of August this year.

You have to thank the Police. It's the date available for them.

I thought you were just being a complete bitch, but then I saw the word "fat" in their name, so it's all good.

No, no, you're good. If you'd thrown that response out there if there username had been "Steve," you'd be a bitch, but it was quite warranted under this circumstance.

the difference between 92 and 98 is a lot greater than 98 and 104

once you're in the body temperature --> 110 range, it's just fucking sweltering hot, the difference of six degrees between 100 and 106 doesn't really feel like much
 
 but the difference of six degrees between 92 and 98 is definitely palpable
 
 let me know if you'd like to hear more of my thoughts about weather

I'll be in South Texas this weekend, 94, 96 and 99, not bad considering Texas is hot as hell...
Title: Re: Virgin Festival Weather
Post by: ggw on August 01, 2007, 02:37:00 pm
I'll be in the mountains of Northern California.  74, 71, 73 - with humidity probably hovering around 11%.

Bonnaroo taught me one VERY crucial thing.  City hot & country hot are two COMPLETELY different animals . . .
Title: Re: Virgin Festival Weather
Post by: kosmo vinyl on August 01, 2007, 05:41:00 pm
and the difference between Bonnaroo and V-Fest is most of the artists i wanted to see there performed under nice tent like structures with open sides, so there was an occasional breeze to go along with with the shade....  boy am i'm glad not to be going as not even a VIP ticket would have it bearable for me,  i thank the Police appearance at Bonnaroo for cementing the decision to pass this one up.

That's a little high on the humidity scale for us.  Drink a lot of water.

Bring the heat, bring the humidity, bring the sweat, and bring on the twelve dollar imports to keep me cool.

Where are you getting your reports?
 
 According to Accuweather (http://www.accuweather.com/forecast.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=1&zipChg=1&zipcode=21201&metric=0) (not that it's far off):
 
 Friday: 97
 Saturday: 94
 Sunday: 90
 Monday: 92
 Tuesday: 94
 
 I think this is for downtown Baltimore so you may be able to drop a degree for Pimlico. Either way you look at it, it looks gloriously hot.      :cool:  
 
 Hope they have snowball stands. Snowballs are perfect for hot, steamy festivals like this. I suggest egg custard with a shot of gold tequila.

Ah. I almost never watch tv so I missed that. Will be slightly interesting to see, after the fact, who was closest.
 
 I just heard thunder outside now, way off in the distance and it's looking kind of hazy. Hoping it rains to get some of the humidity and pollen out of the air. (I'm in Baltimore.)

For Baltimore's Saturday forecast, according to weather.com...
 
 "a few storms may be severe"
 
 Oppressive heat and mud.  Would you want anything else for a music festival?
