Yesterday was only the 3rd official 90 degree day of the year in Chicago and 2nd in Rockford, and the 1st 90 degree day of July for both locations. The long term average for 90 degree days in July is 8 in Rockford and 6 in Chicago. Given the forecast for the rest of the month, it is distinctly possible if not likely that there will be no more 90 degree days this July for the area. Here are some eye-opening stats in the 90 degree department showing just how different this July has been from the searingly hot conditions in July 2012. Including July 23rd, there had already been 18 90+ degree days in Rockford and 16 in Chicago, and the month finished with 21 90 degree days in Rockford and 18 in Chicago. Of these, there were 5 days of 100 degrees or higher in Rockford and 3 100+ days in Chicago. Overall, May through September 2012 had an incredible 49 90+ days in Rockford and 46 in Chicago. If youre not a fan of the heat and humidity yesterday, enjoy high temperatures in the 70s and low humidity the next few days!
