Today is June 28th. It's the 180th day of the year. 186 days remain. It's week 26 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 83
and the normal low is 62. I've calculated the 33-year averages at 83
and 61.
On the hot side, in 2005 (O'Hare's second warmest June 28th) the high was 94 with a low of 76 (O'Hare's warmest low of the date). In 1991 the high was 89 with a low of 70. The record high of 101 was originally set in 1952 and tied in 1971, both at Midway. The record warmest low of 81 occurred back in 1913, at a time when the official readings were taken adjacent to Lake Michigan. 22
of the past 33 highs (67%) were in the 80s. Two highs (6%) were in the
hot 90s. Nine highs (27%) were in the cool: 60s (1) and 70s (8). O'Hare's lone 60s high was 69. It occurred on the coolest day of the past 33 years in 2000. O'Hare's warmest June 28th was in 1971 as the high was 97 (O'Hare's hottest high of the date) with a low of 75.
In
looking back through the years to the first June at O'Hare in 1959,
the following instances were notable: In 1973 the high was a cool 70
degrees. In 1971 the high was 97 with a low of 75, a hot day and year
of the record high (101 at Midway). In 1964 the high was 91 with a low
of 61, a 30 degree spread. In 1962 the high was 90 with a low of 57, a
33 degree spread. In 1959 the low was a warm 78
degrees.
More recently, there was a small spread of seven degrees in 1983 (70/63). The other spreads were large: 30 degrees in 1996 (92/62) and 30 degrees in 1988 (88/58).
On
the cool side, in 2000 (O'Hare's coolest June 28th) the high was 69 (O'Hare's only 60s high and coolest high of the date) with a low
of 55. In 1992 the high was 82 with the record low of 44 (O'Hare's only 40s
low of the date), a spread of 38 degrees. The other cool high of 70 occurred in 1983. The high was also 70 in 1973. These highs of 70 are O'Hare's second coolest of the date. The
record coolest high of 58 occurred way back in 1902, at a time when the official readings were taken adjacent to Lake Michigan. 21 of the last 33
lows (64%) were in the 60s. O'Hare recorded six consecutive 60s lows from 1994 through 1999. Ten lows (30%) were in the cool: 40s (1)
and 50s (9). Two lows (6%) were in the warm 70s.

June 28: ORD
Today is June 28th. It's the 180th day of the year. 186 days remain.
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. Observations have been official at O'Hare since Thu. Jan. 17, 1980.
Before this, Midway International Airport (MDW) was the official station of record from Wed. July 1, 1942 to Thu. Jan. 17, 1980. Before July 1, 1942, records were official at various locations in the city going all the way back to Mon. Oct. 16, 1871. Records before this (back to Sat. Oct. 15, 1870) were lost during the Great Chicago Fire which began on the evening of Sun. Oct. 8, 1871.
According to the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), the normal high is 82 and the normal low is 60. The 29-year averages are 83 and 61.
On the cool side, our lone 60s high of 69 degrees occurred in 2000. In 1983 the high was 70 and a decade later in 1993 it was 72. The record low of 44 was set in 1992. Remarkably, we've had no lows in the lower 50s going back to 1979. The record coolest high of 58 was set way back at the beginning of the 20th century in 1902. 17 of the 29 lows so far have been in the 60s.
The following astronomical data is provided by the United States Naval Observatory. In Crystal Lake, twilight begins at 4:45 and sunrise is at 5:19. Sunset is at 20:34 and twilight ends at 21:08. There's a total of 15 hours, 15 minutes of sunlight and 16 hours, 23 minutes between twilights. The moon is waning crescent with 31% visible at midnight and 26% visible at noon. Moonrise was at 1:11 and moonset is at 15:54. Moonrise will be at 1:43 tonight. Moonlight time is 14 hours, 43 minutes today. The last quarter moon was Thursday at 7:10.
Independence day is in six days and my mother will celebrate her 67th birthday in 12 days. Happy birthday mom! -Bernie-
