15 Oct 09 – “Chicago's average temperature over the month's first 15 days slipped Thursday to 47.3-degrees---the city's chilliest October open in the 133 years since 1876,” says WGN-TV Chief Meteorologist Tom Skilling. “Not only has it been cool---it's been cloudy and wet. Rain has fallen 10 of the past 15 days and has totaled 2.13 inches---nearly an inch (0.85) above normal. The damp weather has allowed only 38 percent of October's possible sunshine to date---58 percent is typical.” Thursday's 44-degree high equaled readings for the date in 1876, 1909 and 1943--each tying as Oct. 15's coldest on record, The tenacious cold spell--which is to last into Sunday morning before breaking--produces a 19th day of below normal temperatures Friday and limits highs to the 40s for a 7th consecutive day--the most ever so early in the season. See entire article: “All of us who live in Chicago know that it can get cold,” says Norm, “but this early is just really bad news. I am afraid of what’s to come in the future.” |
