August is the deal-breaker. It seems to start very warm, but if the second half is disappointing, it will ruin a lot of the summer. The chill in June was actually a nice thing to experience for novelty's sake, but can't say it was something I want to experience again. And the beginning of May was terrible as well.
And we beat Rimini Miramare, Italy in the 30C competition as well.
Looks like the final figure for July will be 26.2C/79F in highs and the low is 15.1C/59F, yielding a mean of 20.6C/69F. Tied as the 3rd warmest July since 2000.
29 days above 20C/68F, 20 days above 25C/77F and 7 days above 30C/86F.
Will someone be starting a July 2014 Summary Thread?

I don't get the sunshine stats before tomorrow, so I have not the definite numbers yet and no point in making the thread when I don't have all the figures. And it's still 4 hours left of the meteorological day as well.
I suspect our average high will be a shade over 23C, and the average low around 13C.. so firmly above average. Probably sunnier than average as well. All in all, a good month. Shame it has gown downhill for the start of August.
Not bad for your latitude. With just today remaining and the expected high around 27/27C, ORD average max should be about 26.4C and MDW 27.1C. Lows about 16.4C for ORD and 17.6C at MDW. Disaster by July standards
Nevermind 32.2C/90F days of which ORD has only seen 3 and MDW 8. We are way behind in 30C/86F days too....
30C days? Abysmal
May:7
June:9
July:6
Seven 30C days in May? Wow, that's a lot!
It is above average, I suppose.
The 30C's here have been all in July. I go by the nationwide 30's instead, as obviously we are at a latitude disadvantage.
May: 2
June: 1
July: 14
May 30's are very rare. There has been many years when 30C hasn't been reached all summer. This happened in 2009 the last time.
You got more May 30's than I did here. We got close (28-29ºC) but we weren't able to crack 30 in May.
All of our 30's have been this month too.. 23 of them, looking like 24
and in 2012:
April: 1
May: 0
June: 9
July: 17
August: 22
September: 2
