The threat of coronavirus causes desert music fests to be pushed back to a slightly warmer month
Concert promoter Goldenvoice has postponed the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival until October. The Stagecoach music festival has also been postponed until the fall. Both events had been scheduled for April, but were pushed back due to COVID-19 concerns.Average daytime high temperatures are slightly higher in Indio in October than in April. The desert town of Indio is home to the Empire Polo Club, where Coachella and Stagecoach are held.
The sun is stronger in April, with a mean unltraviolet index of 7 in Indio, but the mean UV index declines to 4 in October. Much of coastal California has a seasonal lag because of the ocean’s capacity to retain heat. Thus in places such as San Francisco, surrounded by water, the warmest days of the year can be in September and October. But in Indio, in Southern California’s Colorado Desert, the warmest month is July, with an average high of 107 degrees and an average low of 80.
