Weathering the 1958 World Fair Rain Dampens Attendance
In Brussels the steady rain reduced fairgoer turnout at the 1958 World's Fair while crowds still flocked to major pavilions. The United States pavilion drew about 150 entrants per minute in early afternoon, with Russians near 100 and a Vatican display debut. In Raleigh, the weather expert links cold, wet winter to Arctic air and southward jet stream shifts, noting January to March 1958 as the state’s coldest trio on records and November rainfall soaking the ground all season.
