Today is July 7th. It's the 189th day of the year. 177 days remain. It's week 27 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. Before
this, the official site of record was on the
south side of Chicago at Midway
International Airport (MDW), beginning on Wednesday,
July 1, 1942. From Friday, January 1, 1926 through Tuesday, June 30, 1942, the official site was at the University of Chicago. Before that, the official site was
at various locations in Chicago going back to
Monday, October 16, 1871. Observations taken from
October 15, 1870 to October 8, 1871 were lost in
the Great Chicago Fire.
According
to the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), the normal high is 84
and the normal low is 64. I've calculated the 33-year averages at 85
and 62.
On
the hot side, in 1988 (O'Hare's warmest July 7th) the high was 97 with a low of 71. Two years ago, in
2010 (O'Hare's second warmest July 7th), the high was 93 with a low of 71. The record
high of 102 degrees was set in 1980. Our warmest low
was 73 in 1994. The record warmest low of 78 occurred way back in
1876, at a time when the official readings were taken adjacent to Lake Michigan. 16
of the past 33 highs (49%) were in the 80s. Eight highs (24%) were in
the hot: 90s (7) and 100s (1). Nine highs (27%) were in the cool: 60s
(1) and 70s (8).
In
looking back through the years to the first July at O'Hare in 1959,
the following instances were notable: In 1969 the high was a cool 65
with a low of 60, a five degree spread and cool day. In 1967 the low was a cold 51 degrees. In 1961 the high was a cool 70 with a low of 53, a cool day. In 1959 the high was 87 with a low of 56, a 31 degree spread.
More recently, there were large spreads of: 43 degrees in 1980 (102/59), 36 degrees in 1981 (93/57), 30 degrees in 1979 (85/55) and 30 degrees in 1985 (88/58).
On
the cool side, in 1984 (O'Hare's coolest July 7th) the high was 74 with a low of 47. The year
earlier, 1983 (O'Hare's third coolest July 7th), the high was 79 with the record low of 45. The only post-1979 cool high was 69 in 2004. The record coolest high of
62 occurred back in 1904, at a time when the official readings were taken adjacent to Lake Michigan. 26 of the last 33 lows (79%) were in the:
50s (10) and 60s (16). O'Hare recorded 13 consecutive 50s & 60s lows from 1995 through 2007. 10 of these 13 (77%) were in the 60s. Two lows (6%) were in the cold 40s (45 in 1983 &
47 in 1984). Five lows (15%) were in the warm 70s. O'Hare's second coolest July 7th was in 1961 as the high was 70 with a low of 53. O'Hare's fourth coolest July 7th was in 1969 as the high was 65 (O'Hare's coolest high of the date) with a low of 60.

On the cool side, in 1984 the high was 74 with a low of 47. In 1983 the high was 79 with the record low of 45. In 2004 we had our only 60s high of 69 degrees. Other cool highs were 75 in 1997 and 76 in 2000. The record coolest high of 62 occurred in 1904. 15 of the 29 lows have been in the 60s.
The following astronomical data is provided by the United States Naval Observatory. In Crystal Lake, twilight begins at 4:50 and sunrise is at 5:25. Sunset is at 20:32 and twilight ends at 21:06.
