While the Iowa State Fair got off to a hot start two weeks ago, very pleasant weather dominated most of the ten day event outside of some downpours on the second Friday afternoon. The featured chart presents an IEM calculated frequency of hourly temperature readings of at least 80 degrees during the days of the fair each year based on Des Moines Airport readings. The 2022 total comes in well below the simple long term average and lowest total since 2014. Attendance numbers for the fair were certainly helped by this nice weather with the last Saturday setting a single day attendance record for the event.
