The Minnesota State Fair has been held during the last days of August and beginning of September since 1885 with a few exceptions for various reasons. As with other noteworthy nuggets, the fair administration has kept a record of the temperatures during the run of each fair.

Weather is an important factor in attendance.In ordinary circumstances the days are quite pleasant but of course there are exceptions. The record for high temperature was set in 1931, 104F. During the fair's eight day run that year the high topped 90F five times. In 1890 the high during the entire fair was 74F and the low was 33F. The 1965 fair had an average high of 67F and a low of 49F during its ten day run. An unremarkable .66" of rain fell in that time span.
The variation in fair temperatures from year to year doesn't seem to have changed much in the recent past. In 2016 the average high was 78F and the average low was 61F. Since 2016 the high hasn't reached 90F and the low has ranged between 72F and 52F.
