Today is May 9th. It's the 130th day of the year. 236 days remain. It's week 19 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 68
and the normal low is 46. I've calculated the 33-year averages at 71
and 48.
On
the warm side, in 1979 (O'Hare's warmest May 9th) the high was a
near-record 89 degrees with a
low of 69. Both the high of 89 and low of 69 are O'Hare's warmest for
May 9th. In 1993 the high was 87 with a low of 60. In 1987 the high
was 85 with a low of 55, a 30 degree spread. In 2004 the high was 88
with a low of 52, a 36 degree spread. A year later, in 2005, the high
was 77 with a low of 62. Two years prior, in 2003, the high was 84 with
a low of 54, a 30 degree spread. In 2007 the high was 77 with a low
of 61. The other warm highs were 81 in 1985 and 80 in 2001. The record
high
of 94 and record warmest low of 69 were set on the same hot day back
in 1934 at the University of Chicago. Although O'Hare
had a low of 69 in 1979, at the time it was not the official
station of record for Chicago. Midway had a low of 67 in 1979.
Furthermore, O'Hare's low was also 67 in 1965. 28 of the past 33 highs
(85%) were in the: 60s (8), 70s (13) and 80s (7). Our most recent 80s
high was 88 in 2004. The second warmest May 9th occurred in 1965 (high
of 82, low of 67). O'Hare also had a warm high of 86 in 1963. On the
cool side, five highs were in the
50s.
In
looking back through the years to the first May at O'Hare in 1959,
the following instances were notable: In 1977 the high was 51 with a
low of 32, a cold day. In 1974 the high was a cold 49 with a low of
37, a cold day. In 1970 the high was 78 with a warm low of 61, a warm
day. In 1966 the high was 44 with a low of 27, a cold day. 1966 was
also the year of the record coldest high (42 at Midway). In 1965 the
high was 82 with a low of 67, a warm day. In 1963 the high was a hot
86 with a low of 55, a 31 degree spread and warm day. In 1962 the high
was a cool 52 degrees. In 1960 the high was a cold 41 with a low of 36,
a five degree spread. That high of 41 was actually colder than the
record coldest high, but keep in mind, O'Hare was not the official
station of record for Chicago in 1960. In 1959 the high was 68 with a
low of 46, temperatures which are the same as the normal high and low
for May 9th.
More recently, we had additional large spreads of 34 degrees in 1981 (72/38) and 30 degrees in 1982 (76/46).
On
the cool side, in 1983 the high was 55 with the record low of 27. Two
years ago, in 2010, the high was 58 with a low of 38. The record coldest
high of 42
was set in 1966. 24 of the last 33 lows (73%) were in the: 40s (13)
and 50s (11). O'Hare recorded consecutive 40s & 50s lows as follows: eight from 1985 through 1992 and 11 from 1994 through 2004. Five lows (15%) were in the cold: 20s (1) and 30s (4).
Four
lows (12%) were in the warm 60s. O'Hare's coldest May 9th was in 1966
(high of 44, low of 27 (tied with 1983 as the coldest low of the date)).
O'Hare's second coldest May 9th was in 1960 (the coldest high of the
date of 41 with a low of 36).

May 9: ORD
Today is May 9th. It's the 129th day of the year. 236 days remain. It's week 19 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 67 and the normal low is 45. I've calculated the 30-year averages at 72 and 48.
On the warm side, in 1979 the high was a near-record 89 degrees with a low of 69. In 1993 the high was 87 with a low of 60. In 1987 the high was 85 with a low of 55, a 30 degree spread. In 2004 the high was 88 with a low of 52, a 36 degree spread. A year later in 2005, the high was 77 with a low of 62. Two years prior, in 2003, the high was 84 with a low of 54, a 30 degree spread. Two years ago the high was 77 with a low of 61. Other 80s highs were 81 in 1985 and 80 in 2001. The record high of 94 and record warmest low of 69 were set on the same day back in 1934. O'Hare also had a low of 69 in 1979, but at the time O'Hare was not the official station of record for Chicago. Midway had a low of 67 in 1979 and furthermore, O'Hare's low was also 67 in 1965. 12 highs were in the 70s. On the warmer side, seven highs were in the 80s. On the cooler side, 11 highs were in the: 50s (4) and 60s (7).
In looking back through the years to the first May at O'Hare in 1959, the following instances were notable: In 1977 the high was 51 with a low of 32, a cool day. In 1974 the high was 49 with a low of 37, a cold day. In 1970 the high was 78 with a low of 61, a warm day. In 1966 the high was 44 with a low of 27, a cold day. 1966 was also the year of the record coolest high (42 at Midway). In 1965 the high was 82 with a low of 67, a warm day. In 1963 the high was 86 with a low of 55, a 31 degree spread and hot day. In 1960 the high was 41 with a low of 36, a five degree spread. That high of 41 was actually colder than the record coldest high, but keep in mind, O'Hare was not the official station of record for Chicago in 1960.
More recently, we had large spreads of 34 degrees in 1981 (72/38) and 30 degrees in 1982 (76/46).
On the cool side, in 1983 the high was 55 with the record low of 27. All of the coldest temperatures happened in four of the five years from 1980 to 1984. Besides that record low in 1983, lows were 35 in 1980, 38 in 1981 and 37 in 1984. 1982 ranks as one of the warmer days (see prior section). The record coolest high of 42 was set in 1966. 22 of the last 30 lows were 40s (11) and 50s (11). Four lows were in the colder: 20s (1) and 30s (3). Four lows were in the warmer 60s.
Today is not a major day in Chicago's snow history. Stay tuned, for in two days we had what was our last snow event for the Spring.
The following astronomical data is provided by the United States Naval Observatory. In Crystal Lake, twilight begins at 5:07 and sunrise is at 5:38. Sunset is at 20:02 and twilight ends at 20:33. Tomorrow twilight begins at 5:06 and sunrise is at 5:37. There's a total of 14 hours, 24 minutes of daylight today and 15 hours, 26 minutes between twilights. The moon is waning gibbous, having reached the full Flower moon last night at 23:01. Illumination was 100% at midnight, will be 99% at noon and 99% at midnight tonight. Moon set was at 5:26. Moon rise is at 21:08 and moon set is at 6:05 tomorrow. Moonlight time is 8 hours, 18 minutes which is 32 minutes shorter than yesterday.
Mother's Day is tomorrow. Armed Forces Day is in seven days. A sister of mine, Maria, will celebrate a birthday in seven days. National Maritime Day is in 13 days. Memorial Day is in 16 days. -Bernie-
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 67 and the normal low is 45. I've calculated the 30-year averages at 72 and 48.
On the warm side, in 1979 the high was a near-record 89 degrees with a low of 69. In 1993 the high was 87 with a low of 60. In 1987 the high was 85 with a low of 55, a 30 degree spread. In 2004 the high was 88 with a low of 52, a 36 degree spread. A year later in 2005, the high was 77 with a low of 62. Two years prior, in 2003, the high was 84 with a low of 54, a 30 degree spread. Two years ago the high was 77 with a low of 61. Other 80s highs were 81 in 1985 and 80 in 2001. The record high of 94 and record warmest low of 69 were set on the same day back in 1934. O'Hare also had a low of 69 in 1979, but at the time O'Hare was not the official station of record for Chicago. Midway had a low of 67 in 1979 and furthermore, O'Hare's low was also 67 in 1965. 12 highs were in the 70s. On the warmer side, seven highs were in the 80s. On the cooler side, 11 highs were in the: 50s (4) and 60s (7).
In looking back through the years to the first May at O'Hare in 1959, the following instances were notable: In 1977 the high was 51 with a low of 32, a cool day. In 1974 the high was 49 with a low of 37, a cold day. In 1970 the high was 78 with a low of 61, a warm day. In 1966 the high was 44 with a low of 27, a cold day. 1966 was also the year of the record coolest high (42 at Midway). In 1965 the high was 82 with a low of 67, a warm day. In 1963 the high was 86 with a low of 55, a 31 degree spread and hot day. In 1960 the high was 41 with a low of 36, a five degree spread. That high of 41 was actually colder than the record coldest high, but keep in mind, O'Hare was not the official station of record for Chicago in 1960.
More recently, we had large spreads of 34 degrees in 1981 (72/38) and 30 degrees in 1982 (76/46).
On the cool side, in 1983 the high was 55 with the record low of 27. All of the coldest temperatures happened in four of the five years from 1980 to 1984. Besides that record low in 1983, lows were 35 in 1980, 38 in 1981 and 37 in 1984. 1982 ranks as one of the warmer days (see prior section). The record coolest high of 42 was set in 1966. 22 of the last 30 lows were 40s (11) and 50s (11). Four lows were in the colder: 20s (1) and 30s (3). Four lows were in the warmer 60s.
