The Iowa State Fair got started on Thursday and it is hard to imagine a better start for weather with very comfortable temperatures and low humidity. After a muggy start to the week, the rest has been very much a treat. The featured chart presents a calendar plot of daily high temperature departures from average for Ames since the first of May. Hot weather has been limited since the end of June. The forecast for the fair next week has slightly warmer temperatures, but nothing of great concern and humidity levels will be within reason. This all should help a record attendance for the fair!
