Conditions

Those hoping for Indian summer conditions will sadly most likely not get their wish. However, unseasonably cold weather does not look like it’s going to dampen the fun either. The weather for Yakima’s fair week actually looks quite seasonable, calm, and how I imagine traditional fair weather should be. But definitely be thinking more pumpkins and cider than ice cold lemonade!

Opening day this Friday should be sunny and breezy but a bit chilly with a high of 65 and an overnight low of 40! Brrr. According to the current forecast, the weather should slightly improve from there with highs hovering in the high 60s to low 70s for the rest of the event. Lows will remain in the low-mid 40s though, so I would advise you bring a jacket if you are planning to stay after sunset!

A Changing Of The Seasons

I personally love the cooler weather on the way. Fair season to me feels like the beginning of Halloween. Nights have just become longer than the days, the harvest smell is in the air, and that first bitter nip of fall reminds you trick-or-treating is just around the corner. There is also something excitingly eerie about fairs and carnivals that I can’t quite put my finger on that fits the Halloween vibe perfectly.

Nevertheless, make sure you get out and enjoy it!
