Coachella Weather: Windy, Cool, and a Hint of Rain

The festival crowd gathered at the Empire Polo Club on Friday, April 10. A breeze began to rise as people arrived. It made the day feel a little cooler than usual. The National Weather Service warned that wind gusts could reach 25 miles per hour overnight. This might stir up dust, raising air pollution levels. The alert will stay in place for the first two days of the event and ends at 5 a. m. on Sunday.

The worst pollution is expected during Friday night and Saturday night. Fans should stay alert if they feel dust in the air. Temperatures will stay on the lower side. Saturday’s high could hit 85 degrees, while Sunday might reach only 79. Night lows may drop to the mid‑to‑low 50s. Wind gusts up to 35 miles per hour could happen on Sunday. There is also a one‑in‑five chance of rain after 11 a. m. on that day. The weather may change the festival experience, so visitors should plan accordingly.
