Today is October 19th. It's the 293rd day of the year. 73 days remain. It's week 42 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 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 this, 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 61
and the normal low is 42. I've calculated the 33-year averages at 59
and 41.
On
the warm side, in 1979 (O'Hare's second warmest October 19th) the high was 74 with the record warmest low of
65. In 1994 the high was 74 with a low of 55. A year later, in 1995,
the high was 79 (O'Hare's second hottest high of the date) with a low of 49, a 30 degree spread. The other warm
highs were 77 degrees in 1962, 76 degrees in 2000 and 75 degrees in 1973. The record high of 84
degrees was set in 1971 at Midway. 24 of the past 33
highs (73%) were in the: 50s (10) and 60s (14). Our most recent 50s
high was 52 degrees in 2004. 9 of the past 15 highs (60%) were in the 60s,
including four in a row from 2007 through 2010. Four highs (12%) were in the warm 70s. Five highs (15%) were
in the cold 40s. O'Hare's warmest October 19th was in 1971 as the high was 83 (O'Hare's hottest and only 80s high of the date) with a low of 64 (O'Hare's second warmest low of the date). The other warm day was in 1965 as the high was 77 with a low of 50.
In
looking back through the years to the first October at O'Hare in
1959, the following instances were notable: in 1976 the high was a
cold 46 degrees. In 1975 the high was 54 with a low of 47, a seven
degree spread. In 1973 the high was a warm 75 with a low of 41, a 34
degree spread. In 1972 the high was 42 with a low of 26, a cold day.
In 1971 the high was 83 with a low of 64, a warm day. 1971 was the
year of the record high of 84. In 1965 the high was a warm 77 with a
low of 50, a warm day. In 1964 the high was 47 with a low of 27, a
cold day. In 1962 the high was a warm 77 with a low of 44, a 33 degree
spread.
More recently, there was an additional large
spread of 33 degrees in 1997 (66/33). There were additional small spreads of
three degrees in 2004 (52/49), five degrees in 2006 (44/39) and five degrees last year in 2011 (49/44).
On the cool side,
in 1992 (O'Hare's coolest October 19th) the high was 46 with the record low of 21. Three years earlier, in 1989,
the high was 40 (O'Hare's coolest high of the date) with a low of 33, a seven degree spread. Two years
later, in 1991, the high was 47 with a low of 29. A year earlier, in
1990, the high was 52 with a low of 28. In 1981 the high was 53 with a
low of 28. The other cold low was 30 degrees in 1996. The other cool highs were
44 degrees in 2006 and 46 degrees in 1976. The record coolest high of 36 degrees occurred back in 1930 at the University of Chicago.
24 of the last 33 lows (73%) were in the: 30s (9) and 40s (15). Four
lows (12%) were in the cold 20s, three of which occurred in 1990, 1991 and
1992. Five lows (15%) were in the warm: 50s (4) and 60s (1). O'Hare's second coolest October 19th was in 1972 as the high was 42 (O'Hare's second coolest high of the date) and low of 26 (O'Hare's second coldest low of the date). The other cool October 19th was in 1964 as the high was 47 with a low of 27.

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 61 and the normal low is 41. I've calculated the 30-year averages at 59 and 41.
On the warm side, in 1979 the high was 74 with the record warmest low of 65. In 1994 the high was 74 with a low of 55. A year later, in 1995, the high was 79 with a low of 49, a 30 degree spread. Another warm high was 76 in 2000. The record high of 84 was set in 1953. Over the last 30 years, 22 highs have been: 50s (10) and 60s (12). Four highs were in the warmer 70s and four highs were in the cooler 40s.
In looking back through the years to the first October at O'Hare in 1959, the following instances were notable: in 1976 the high was a cool 46 degrees. In 1975 the high was 54 with a low of 47, a seven degree spread. In 1973 the high was 75 with a low of 41, a 34 degree spread. In 1972 the high was 42 with a low of 26, a cool day. In 1971 the high was 83 with a low of 64, a warm day. In 1965 the high was 77 with a low of 50, a warm day. In 1964 the high was 47 with a low of 27, a cool day. In 1963 the low was a warm 53 degrees. In 1962 the high was 77 with a low of 44, a 33 degree spread.
More recently, there was a large spread of 33 degrees in 1997 (66/33). There were small spreads of three degrees in 2004 (52/49) and five degrees in 2006 (44/39).
On the cool side, in 1992 the high was 46 with the record low of 21. Three years earlier, in 1989, the high was 40 with a low of 33. Two years later, in 1991, the high was 47 with a low of 29. Other cool lows were 28 in both 1981 and 1990. Another cool high was 44 in 2006. The record coolest high of 36 occurred back in 1930. 21 of the last 30 lows were: 30s (8) and 40s (13). Four lows were in the cooler 20s. Five lows were in the warmer: 50s (4) and 60s (1).
The following astronomical data is provided by the United States Naval Observatory. In Crystal Lake, twilight begins at 6:43 and sunrise is at 7:11. Sunset is at 18:05 and twilight ends at 18:33. Tomorrow twilight begins at 6:44 and sunrise is at 7:12. There's a total of 10 hours, 54 minutes of daylight today (two minutes less than yesterday) and 11 hours, 50 minutes between twilights. The moon reached new yesterday at 0:33. Illumination was 1% at midnight, will be 3% at noon and 5% at midnight tonight. Moonrise is at 8:57. Moonset is 18:32. Moonlight time is 9 hours, 35 minutes which is 37 minutes shorter than yesterday.
