If you have an illness or injury that is more severe than you can manage yourself, get yourself to one of our medical stations at the 3:00+C and 9:00+C. However, Black Rock City is a challenging event in a harsh desert location, and medical needs do arise. We encourage participants to practice Radical Self-reliance and bring first aid kits. Getting To Black Rock City Q: I hear there will be no driving on the playa how will I get to my campsite?Ī. When it comes to the weather at Burning Man, it’s much better to be over-prepared.
In 1999, many longtime participants found themselves unprepared for a week’s worth of high winds and low temperatures. Participants at Burning Man have witnessed many freezing-ass-cold evenings and daytime temperatures in the mid-70s.
While the weather in late August/early September is usually warm, it can be downright arctic. We encourage you to visit: Securing your Structure for valuable information about creating a weather-worthy campsite. You are advised to secure your tent, shade structure and loose items in preparation for this possibility. Winds are often 20-30 mph under normal conditions, and winds from 40-70mph can be felt during a storm. Thunderstorms and dust storms arise with breathtaking swiftness, transforming the playa into a gigantic mud puddle in a matter of moments. Pre-dawn temperatures can approach freezing. Temperatures by day have been known to exceed 100 degrees. Come with ample shade producing shelter, warm clothes and sleeping gear, and lots of water. Be prepared for volatile extremes, and ready for anything and everything. Only one thing is completely predictable about the weather in the Black Rock Desert: Unpredictability. In Nevada, there is a saying: if you don’t like the weather, stick around for five minutes and it will change. Sharing resources is encouraged! Talk to other camp members and check the Spark classifieds.Ī. For maximum enjoyment of the event, bring toys or costumes with which you can express your creative spirit. Bring a lock - and use it! Bike theft unfortunately does happen. A bicycle (well-lit, and ideally decorated) is helpful for enjoying our vast and burgeoning metropolis. If you are fond of sleep, earplugs are a participant’s best friend. After you have taken care of your survival, everything else is up to you. Carefully read the Survival Guide, and prepare accordingly. Water, food and shelter are imperative - you will be asked to turn around at the gate if gate personnel believe you cannot meet your basic survival needs. Some people bring only the basics others bring everything including the kitchen sink. You have to bring all you need to survive, and then some. Burning Man is an exercise in radical self-sufficiency. 
Thank you for asking the million-dollar question.
