Rain and Strong Winds Forecast for Rock in Rio Second Weekend

Forecasters warn heavy Saturday and especially Sunday rain plus gusts that could worsen mud, limit comfort and strain outdoor operations.

Overview

  • Weather services expect rain across the festival site from Friday through Sunday with the highest probability on Sunday.
  • Forecasts predict gusts up to about 51.9 km/h and a notable drop in temperatures into Monday that will make conditions colder and wetter.
  • Organizers ban umbrellas inside the Cidade do Rock so attendees are advised to bring raincoats, waterproof phone protection, closed shoes and extra socks.
  • Covered spots such as gazebos exist but access can be restricted and previous heavy rain produced mud and wet conditions that made movement and viewing harder.
  • Vendors sell rain gear at the site often at higher prices so bringing supplies from home can reduce cost and help people stay dry and safe.
