Rain and Strong Winds Forecast for Rock in Rio Second Weekend

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.
