Expected Weekend Highs in Indio: 100, 101, 99
According to the meteorologists over at Weather.com, the three-day forcast for Indio is Hot, Hotter, and Still Damn Hot: 100 degrees today, 101 tomorrow, and 99 Sunday.
So with two of the days predicted to hit triple-digits with winds of just 5 to 10 mph, may we make some recommendations:
- Bring tons of sunscreen
- Ladies: bikini tops; gentlemen: Speedos
- Floppy hats and parasols for all!
- Pick up some trash - if you pick up 10 empty water bottles on the field turn them in at one of two locations, you'll get a free bottle of water (value: $2).
- Pace yourself
- Use the misters, hang out in the cold tents, walk around barefoot
- If you must partake in illegal drugs, wait until nightfall so you dont get heatstroke running around like a damn fool in the sun.
- Likewise, take it easy on the booze until the heat breaks
