The Iowa State Fair ended on Sunday with a record attendance of just under 1.2 million people over the ten day event. The weather certainly was very nice for most of the event and contributed to the record. The featured chart uses the Des Moines airport hourly temperature observations to estimate the number of hours with an air temperature of at least 86 degrees. The 2024 total of just five hours is well below the simple long term average of 21 and the lowest total since 2014.
