We had a record high temperature yesterday. 94 degrees @ O'Hare. The old record for that day was 92. Today is supposed to be 92, which I believe ties the record for today. We have had very few 90 degree days this summer, now we are getting a string of them. And now summer is ending.
The opposite here - we have been in the upper 50s to low 60s and rain for the last week at least. This is usually our time for the best weather of the year.
