The Iowa State Fair will end this weekend and the weather so far has been better than "butter on a stick". The high temperature on Wednesday was the warmest so far at 88, but dew points were very comfortable. The top featured chart looks at the warmest temperature reported by the Des Moines sensor during past state fairs. The bottom chart presents the number of hours during the fair that the heat index was over 90 based on hourly data from the Des Moines Airport. This year has yet to see such a reading, which has helped to boost fair attendance. There are chances of rain in the forecast, but temperatures will remain on the cool side of average.
