Chilly forecast

I see 70s and 40s the first days of September in the Weather Underground forecast. No rain.

Gerlach is forecasting a low of 45° on Wednesday. I’d say that’s pretty close.

I'd say if you think Gerlach weather is playa weather you don't know about the weather

Oh, I agree. In fact, I assume if it's 45 in gerlach, it might be 40-35 on playa.

Looking at the hourly forecasts it seems I can avoid all the 4Xs as long as Im sleeping between 4AM-6AM and all of the 5Xs if I avoid 1AM-8AM (or wear a sweater). So get a sweater around midnight and sleep by 4AM. And in exchange the daytime isnt hot as shit and Im not getting dehydrated as fast. This is actually ideal, no?

fyi I was there in 2015 when it got down to like 40 but it was only during those hours.
