rainsucks Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Now that it's over, I think I feel more comfortable saying this heat wave was more impressive than the "heat wave" in Feb 2017. Close call though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 This heat wave was impressive, but for me the Feb 2017 easily beats it. I've never seen so many days in the 60s that early, and also several 70 degree days including an all-time record Feb temp at MLI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both very impressive though as you said. It might depend on how you analyze it (regionally vs. locally, in addition to other metrics). 70+ in February was almost unheard of prior to this year, while 90s in late September have happened a bit more often through the years (though admittedly not usually a bunch all at once like this time). Besides that 97 at STL, I'm not sure if another major reporting station reached that mark. Had there been more upper 90s or even 100, I might be inclined to pick September.

Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Yeah. I do feel like it's a bit harder to put up insane departures in September than February/March (I mean, the record warmest September for Chicago is "only" +6.6F) but even allowing for that I would give the edge to Feb 2017 and March 2012 for Chicago.

michsnowfreak Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Looking at anomalous 7 day stretches at DTW since 2012, quite a few ahead of this one. Then again we didn't have the extreme temps Chicago did. +27.6F Mar 16-22, 2012 -23.4F Feb 14-20, 2015 +21.9F Feb 18-24, 2017 +20.0F Dec 11-17, 2015 -19.6F Jan 02-09, 2014 -19.1F Feb 26-Mar 4, 2014 -19.0F Feb 23-Mar 1, 2015 +17.1F Dec 21-27, 2015 +16.9F Sep 21-27, 2017 15-day stretch Mar 11-25, 2012: +23.5F 16-day stretch Feb 13-28, 2015: -20.2F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you imagine a +25 to +30 week or two in July or August? It would be break out the body bags time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
