Chicago WX Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Some summer climatology for several sites in the Midwest. I'll have more stuff to post soon. 1984-2013 mean average temperature and precipitation. 1984-2013 mean maximum and minimum temperatures. 1984-2013 mean number of 90º+ and 100º+ days (values rounded up/down). All values are "average of days" and are raw numbers (no smoothing). May differ from the NCDC method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 The relative lack of 100+ days at CLE compared to the other Midwest sites is quite noticeable. I never would have guessed that Marquette had so many 100 degree days. I wonder why such a stark contrast there compared to Duluth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
