Chicago WX Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 A historical weather look at the Cubs and White Sox home openers, since 1928. I used the Midway records for the weather data for each date (1928-1980: MDW airport, 1981-2013 MDW CO-OP). Of course, the weather at Wrigley can be on its own little island. First up, the Cubs home openers... Warmest max temperature: 86º on April 22, 1960 Coolest max temperature: 33º on April 8, 1997 Warmest min temperature: 60º on April 17, 1964 Coolest min temperature: 18º on April 5, 1979 Wettest day: 1.58" on April 9, 1991 Snowiest day: 0.4" on April 9, 1982 Deepest snow depth: 4" on April 9, 1982 Mean max temperature: 57.4º Median max temperature: 55.0º Maximum temperature days 30-39º: 2 days 40-49º: 22 days 50-59º: 25 days 60-69º: 20 days 70-79º: 13 days 80-89º: 4 days Days with measurable precipitation: 25 (plus another 18 days with a trace) Days with measurable snowfall: 2 (plus another 7 days with a trace) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
