Coachella
Weather & terrain
Plan for strong sun, dry air, dust, and a meaningful temperature drop after dark. Check the edition forecast close to travel.
The typical range
Expect days 90-100°F at the hottest point and nights 55-65°F — that swing, not the average, is what your layers need to cover. The desert flips at sunset and keeps dropping — often into the 50s. A flannel, denim jacket, or light hoodie tied around your waist all day earns its keep by 8pm. People who skip this are the ones buying $80 hoodies at the merch tent.
Build around conditions, not averages
Historical conditions help you choose categories, but a current forecast and official alerts should decide your final layer, rain, dust, and heat plan.
A simple final check
Seven days out, recheck the forecast, event communications, travel route, and your official rules source. Repack only what those current conditions change.
