Predicting the Degree of Rainfall on the Initial Day of New York State Fair

The New York State Fair in Syracuse, NY, is set to open on August 20 and run through September 1, with August 21 designated as Agriculture Career Day and Student Youth Day. However, as today is August 27, 2025, the weather forecast for August 21 would now be historical data rather than a forecast.

According to the National Weather Service, the weather on August 21 was expected to be changeable. Thunderstorms are possible before 2 p.m., with a half to three-quarters of an inch of rain possible in the early part of the day. Rain is expected to taper off in the afternoon, but a light drizzle could continue through sunset.

Temperatures are expected to reach into the 80s on Thursday and Friday, improving as the day goes on. However, on August 21, the high temperature was forecasted to reach only 68 degrees.

Fairgoers are advised to be prepared for showers and are encouraged to bring umbrellas. Additionally, given the cooler temperatures, it may be a good idea to bring a jacket.

For those planning to attend the New York State Fair opening on Wednesday, the weather is expected to be cooler, with temperatures only reaching the mid-60s.

It's important to note that the climate in Syracuse, NY, around late August is generally warm, with average highs around the mid-70s to low 80s Fahrenheit (about 24–28°C). For precise weather details on that exact day, consulting a weather archive service or official meteorological data for August 21, 2025, in Syracuse is necessary.
