What August feels like
The Great Minnesota Get-Together opens the Thursday before Labor Day and dominates conversation for weeks beforehand; plan hotels and traffic around it. Evenings start cooling noticeably, which is the first honest signal of what is coming.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. There’s a little humidity in the air, but nothing that changes your plans.
