Chambana Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 CMI already broke the record of 59 set back in 1942 with a 12PM reading of 62. What a way to end this decade of warm December’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIstorm97 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 DTW hit at least 58F so far, so that beats the record of 57F from 2016. Been one balmy week for sure. Did Christmas shopping in shorts and spent most of Christmas outdoors with the family. Much rather have the snow, but after being in a bad car crash caused by a drunk driver, I’m fine with not shoveling for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimillman Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Serious question: has average high temp in November ever verified lower than average high temp in December? Follow up question, how far away are we from that happening this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follow up question, how far away are we from that happening this year? November average max temp has been colder than December average max temp 3 times in Chicago -- 1889, 1891, 1959. There was a tie in 2018 with both months having an average high temp of 39.7F. As far as this month... through December 25, the average high temp is 40.0. November 2019 had an average high temp of 41.6. My gut feel based on the upcoming forecast high temps is that this month is probably going to come up short of last month but somebody would have to run the math.

Including today, average high temp Dec 26 - Dec 31 will be just shy of 50 degrees. That would bring the average high temp in Dec to 41.9, which breaks November. Very real chance we get there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting a monthly average high temp of like 41.4 when plugging in the high of 61 from today and LOT's forecast high temps at ORD over the next 5 days. Double checked it and came up with the same number so not sure why the difference. Looks like it will be close in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, a risk of over performing on the temperature ahead of the weekend storm pretty much gets us there. Will be very close, kind of rooting for it so future generations understand how s**t this December was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 61 ORD and 62 MDW today. As mentioned before, previous record for the date of 55 was easily surpassed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the stats for the 4 years when Dec avg high exceeded Nov average high. It's 4 times, not 3... I missed 1877 earlier. Nov 1877: 46.2 ; Dec 1877: 49.1 Nov 1889: 43.1 ; Dec 1889: 47.2 Nov 1891: 39.4 ; Dec 1891: 41.6 Nov 1959: 41.3 ; Dec 1959: 41.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1800s were a much different climate state, so they wouldn't be good analogs, but still curious to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowfall records don't go back as far as temperature records for Chicago, so n/a on 1877-78. 1889-90 and 1891-92 weren't good. 1959-60 turned it around better with almost 3 feet between January and March. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 NWS-Cleveland posted these stats on twitter: #Toledo #Ohio broke a record high temperature today of at least 63°F (old record was 62°F back in 1888). #Youngstown has tied the record high temperature at 64°F (old record was 64°F set back in 2016/1982). I was just in Toledo a few days ago. Also, on Monday (Dec 23rd) I was at Cleveland Hopkins Airport and there was a high of 58, low of 36. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Big slap in the face this afternoon with the heavy overcast that rolled in, and temps that dropped into the 30s. Not that cold obviously, but compared to the past several days it was pretty chilly. MLI has had 5 days in a row of 50+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
