Fair Fair Weather

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 05:41 AM

The Iowa State Fair wrapped up on Sunday with ten days of near perfect weather. Humidity levels were low, temperatures were in the low 80s for most days, and a northerly breeze blew. The featured chart looks at the weather reported by the Des Moines weather station for the period of the Iowa State Fair back to 1880. This year was actually slightly warmer than last year for both high and low temperature! You may recall that after a brutally hot July in 2012, the period of the fair was very pleasant. The forecast has heat and humidity building back this week.

Voting:
Good = 64
