Today is November 13th. It's the 317th day of the year. 48 days remain. It's week 46 of the year.
Unless noted, the following data is based upon observations collected by the National Weather Service, Chicago, at O'Hare International Airport (ORD) between November 1978 and last year. ORD has been the official site of record for Chicago since Thursday, January 17, 1980.
According to the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), the normal high is 48 and the normal low is 32. I've calculated the 31-year averages at 50 and 32.
On the warm side, in 1989 the high was the record high of 73 with a low of 45. Five years later, in 1994, the high was 65 with the record warmest low of 52. A year earlier, 1993, the high was 65 with a low of 45. In 1999 the high was 71 with a low of 37, a 34 degree spread. In 1980 the high was 61 with a low of 45. A couple of years prior, in 1978, the high was 64 with a low of 41. In 2001 the high was 63 with a low of 40. Other warm highs were 61 in 1987, 61 in 2005 and 60 two years ago. Another warm low was 44 last year. 22 of the last 31 highs were: 40s (8), 50s (6) and 60s (8). Two highs were in the warmer 70s. Seven highs were in the cooler: 20s (3) and 30s (4).
In looking back through the years to the first November at O'Hare in 1958, the following instances were notable: in 1976 the high was 40 with a cool low of 17, a cool day. In 1975 the high was 38 with a low of 32, a six degree spread. In 1974 the high was a cool 36. In 1973 the high was 61 with a low of 50, a warm day. In 1964 the high was a warm 61 degrees. In 1962 the high was 57 with a low of 26, a 31 degree spread. In 1961 the low was a warm 44 degrees. In 1960 the high was a warm 63 degrees. In 1959 the high was a cool 35 degrees.
More recently, there were no other large spreads. There was a small spread of three degrees in 1985 (46/43).
On the cool side, in 1986 the high was the record coldest high of 21 with the record low of 6. A decade later, in 1996, the high was 27 with a low of 17. In 1982 the high was 28 with a low of 20. In 1995 the high was 31 with a low of 18. Another cool high was 36 in 1992. 27 of the last 31 lows were: 20s (10), 30s (10) and 40s (7). Three lows were in the cooler: 0s (1) and 10s (2). One low was in the warmer 50s.
The following astronomical data is provided by the United States Naval Observatory. In Crystal Lake, twilight begins at 6:xx and sunrise is at 6:xx. Sunset is at 16:xx and twilight ends at 17:xx. Tomorrow twilight begins at 6:xx and sunrise is at 6:xx. There's a total of 10 hours, x minutes of daylight today (xxxx minutes less than yesterday) and 11 hours, x minutes between twilights. The moon is xxxxxxxx, heading towards xxxxx xxxxxx tomorrow. Illumination was xx% at midnight, will be xx% at noon and xx% at midnight tonight. Moonset is at 12:16. Moonrise is at 22:30. Moonlight time is xx hours, xx minutes which is xx minutes shorter than yesterday.
