As most of us will be spending our time inside the venue the weather in Sweden does not really matter that much. However, there are times that we go outside, either to get some fresh air or to get a smoke or, for those that sleep outside of the venue, to get to their hotel or other sleeping arrangements. And, as most of you might already know, the venue is located next to one of Sweden’ biggest lakes. This means that the temperature mostly feels a lot colder then what the numbers above tell us.

So, our tips for this Winter are:

• Bring an umbrella. Always good to have when it rains. Bonus points if you bring last years’ Intel Pack4DreamHack umbrella 😉
• The vest we’ll be giving you will be handy to wear under your coat.
• If you have one, a scarf.
• For those that get cold hands fast: bring some warm gloves. Keeps the temperature of your hands up, so getting back to gaming will be easier!
• Bring a plastic bag or garbage bag to cover your gear. It might rain when we’re about to leave and keeping your gear dry is priority number one while loading the bus!

All in all we expect it to be a pretty rainy DreamHack, with temperatures getting near freezing point at night. Jeroen will be happy though, as snow seems an impossibility at the moment (he hates snow).
