The conditions story
Based on weather records at this location, peaks of 25°C with 0 consecutive days over 35°C drive the 5.1 score. Overnight lows of 16°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 18 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 (1st 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
How often is this page updated?
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 Primavera Sound?
A single 0-10 rating of how Primavera Sound'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 Primavera Sound 2026?
See the "Pack for it" section above. The list is generated from the current forecast, tuned to the temperatures, rain probability, and primary risk you will actually face.
