...How Common Are Early Season Stretches of 90 Degree Weather?...
Early season heat with afternoon temperatures in the 90s is
forecast for at least a three to four day stretch from this
weekend into early next week. Below is a look at how common such
an early season stretch is for the area's long term climate sites.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CHICAGO
Since 1872, only nine years have had four or more consecutive
days in the 90s prior to the midpoint of June (on or before June
15). The most recent was 18 years ago on June 8-11, 1999. The
earliest on record was May 3-6, 1949, while the longest early
season stretch was 9 days from May 16-24, 1977.
Years with 4+ consecutive 90 degree days prior to June's midpoint:
1920, 1921, 1934, 1949, 1956, 1962, 1977, 1988, and 1999.
It should be noted that early season stretches of just 3
consecutive 90 degree days are much more common. The most recent
was June 9-11, 2012.
