Midwest Summer Climatology/History


Chicago WX

Recommended Posts

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.

Top 10 warmest and coolest summers for Alpena, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Des Moines, Detroit, Duluth, Fort Wayne, Grand Rapids, Green Bay, Indianapolis, and Kansas City.

 

 

 

Summer mean averages that I used are an average of all days from June 1 to August 31. May differ from NCDC values. Months or summers that had 3 or more days with missing data were not included.

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?
