Today is September 29th. It's the 273rd day of the year. 93 days remain. It's week 39 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 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 69
and the normal low is 48. I've calculated the 33-year averages at 70
and 49.
On
the warm side, in 1982 (O'Hare's warmest September 29th) the high was 83 with a low of 63. In 2002 the
high was 84 (O'Hare's second hottest high of the date) with a low of 60. In 1979 the high was 85 (O'Hare's hottest high of the date) with a low of
58. In 1986 the high was 77 with a low of 64. The other warm high was 81
degrees in 1983. The record high of 99 degrees was set in 1953 at Midway. The record
warmest low of 69 degrees occurred way back in 1904, at a time when the official
readings were taken adjacent to Lake Michigan. 23 of the past 33
highs (70%) were in the: 60s (13) and 70s (10). There's been two
notable streaks of 60s and 70s highs. The first was eight years from
1985 through 1992. The second was six years from 1996 through 2001. Six
highs (18%) were in the warm 80s. Four highs (12%) were in the cool 50s. Although there
is not a rule, on three occasions the 50s and 80s have occurred in
successive years. In 1983 the high of 81 was followed by a high of 55 in
1984. In 2002 the high of 84 was followed by a high of 58 in 2003. In
2006 the high of 59 was followed by a high of 80 in 2007. Another
occurrence, although not perfect, was the high of 54 in 1993 which was
followed by highs of 70 in 1994 and 80 in 1995. O'Hare's second warmest September 29th was in 1971 as the high was 80 with a low of 65 (O'Hare's warmest low of the date).
In
looking back through the years to the first September at O'Hare in
1959, the following instances were notable: in 1971 the high was 80 with
a warm low of 65, a warm day. In 1970 the high was 72 with a low of
39, a 33 degree spread. In 1967 the high was a cold 47 with a low of
41, a six degree spread and cold day. In 1964 the high was 67 with a
cold low of 32, a 35 degree spread. In 1962 the high was 66 with a
cold low of 36, a 30 degree spread. In 1961 the high was 66 with a
cold low of 32, a 34 degree spread. The lows of 32 in 1961 and 1964 are equal to the record.
More recently, there were
large spreads of 31 degrees in 1983 (81/50) and 30 degrees in 2007
(80/50). There were no small spreads of up to seven degrees.
On the cool side, in 1984 (O'Hare's coolest September 29th) the high was 55 (O'Hare's third coolest high of the date) with the record low of 32. In 1993 the high was 54 (O'Hare's second coolest high of the date) with a low of 37. The record coldest high of 44 degrees was set way back in 1899, at a time when the official readings were taken adjacent to Lake Michigan.
25 of the last 33 lows (76%) were in the: 40s (11) and 50s (14). For
eight consecutive years, from 1994 through 2001, lows were in the 40s and 50s. Five lows (15%) were in the cold 30s. Three lows (9%) were in the warm
60s. O'Hare's second coolest September 29th was in 1967 as the high was 47 (O'Hare's coolest high of the date) with a low of 41. Along with the current record low of 32 degrees in 1984, O'Hare also had lows of 32 degrees in 1961 and 1964. O'Hare's second coldest lows of the date of 36 degrees occurred in 1962 and 1992. Today is also the runner-up date of the earliest first freeze
of fall which occurred in 1984. The earliest first freeze of fall was on September 22 in 1995.

According to the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), the normal high is 69 and the normal low is 49. I've calculated the 30-year averages at 70 and 49.
On the warm side, in 1982 the high was 83 with a low of 63. In 2002 the high was 84 with a low of 60. In 1979 the high was 85 with a low of 58. In 1986 the high was 77 with a low of 64. Another warm high was 81 in 1983. The record high of 99 was set in 1953 and the record warmest low of 69 occurred in 1904, a time when the official readings were taken adjacent to Lake Michigan. Over the last 30 years, 26 highs were: 60s (11), 70s (9) and 80s (6). Four highs were in the cooler 50s.
In looking back through the years to the first September at O'Hare in 1959, the following instances were notable: in 1971 the high was 80 with a low of 65, a warm day. In 1970 the high was 72 with a low of 39, a 33 degree spread. In 1967 the high was 47 with a low of 41, a six degree spread. In 1964 the high was 67 with a low of 32, a 35 degree spread. In 1962 the high was 66 with a cool low of 36, a 30 degree spread. In 1961 the high was 66 with a cool low of 32, a 34 degree spread. The lows of 32 in 1964 and 1961 are equal to the record.
More recently, there were large spreads of 31 degrees in 1983 (81/50) and 30 degrees two years ago (80/50). There were no small spreads of up to seven degrees.
On the cool side, in 1984 the high was 55 with the record low of 32. In 1993 the high was 54 with a low of 37. Other cool lows were 36 in 1992 and 37 three years ago. The record coolest high of 44 was set way back in 1899, a time when the official readings were taken adjacent to Lake Michigan. 22 of the last 30 lows were: 40s (9) and 50s (13). Five lows were in the cooler 30s and three were in the warmer 60s. Today is also the runner-up date of the earliest first freeze which occurred in 1984. The earliest first freeze was on September 22, 1995.
The following astronomical data is provided by the United States Naval Observatory. In Crystal Lake, twilight begins at 6:20 and sunrise is at 6:48. Sunset is at 18:38 and twilight ends at 19:06. Tomorrow twilight begins at 6:22 and sunrise is at 6:50. There's a total of 11 hours, 50 minutes of daylight today (three minutes less than yesterday) and 12 hours, 46 minutes between twilights. The moon is waxing gibbous. Illumination was 77% at midnight, will be 81% at noon and 85% at midnight tonight. Moonset was at 2:05. Moonrise is at 16:27. Moonset is at 3:07 tomorrow morning. Moonlight time is 9 hours, 38 minutes which is 38 minutes longer than yesterday.
Columbus Day is in 13 days. My parents will celebrate their 47th wedding anniversary in two weeks. A brother-in-law, Buddy, celebrates a birthday in two weeks. National Boss Day is in 17 days. -Bernie-
