Monday, August 18, 1969Max Yasgur's Farm, Bethel, New York, United States

clear and mild71°F

Grey and wet underfoot in the small hours, the air near 67°F and the cloud low. Morning stayed under it and warmed slowly. Around 1pm showers came through for a couple of hours, heavy enough to run in the ruts, with the air climbing toward 78° between them and thick. Another burst fell toward evening. Then the sky opened for the last of the day and the mud steamed in the low light.
