The conditions story
Based on weather records at this location, peaks of 38°C with 0 consecutive days over 35°C drive the 6.8 score. Overnight lows of 20°C either give bodies a chance to cool off or compound the heat load.
A UV mean of 0.0 and a cooling breeze of 27 km/h are the modifiers that push the number up or down on the day. Shade access and water points usually matter more than the temperature gauge itself.
Note: this year also lands in an extreme band for another conditions axis (4th dustiest in 21 years). The primary score does not capture that, so if your memory of a past edition differs from the numbers here, it may live on a different axis than the one the headline stat tracks.
Frequently asked questions

Current conditions refresh daily at 07:00 UTC from our cron. Forecasts cache for 6 hours; climate averages for 24 hours; the 20-year historical distribution refreshes weekly.
What does the conditions score mean for EDC Las Vegas?
A single 0-10 rating of how EDC Las Vegas's event window is shaping up, weighted toward the festival's primary risk (extreme heat and sun exposure). Above 7 means likely good, 4-6 is mixed, below 4 means prepare for the worst.
Where does the weather data come from?
Open-Meteo, an open weather API that blends multiple national weather services plus ERA5 archive data going back to 2006. The same data powers many outdoor apps.
Does the historical comparison mean the festival ran every year?
No. The 20-year comparison uses weather records for this location and event window regardless of whether the festival itself ran that year. That gives us a consistent 20-year sample even for festivals that started more recently.
What should I pack for EDC Las Vegas 2026?
