Historical and forecasted meteorological conditions for the annual Great Minnesota Get-Together significantly impact attendance, event scheduling, and visitor experience. Factors like temperature, precipitation, humidity, and wind speed influence clothing choices, comfort levels, and the feasibility of outdoor activities. For instance, extreme heat can lead to heatstroke risks, while heavy rainfall might cause event cancellations or delays.
