spudart asks:
What’s the all-time record highest temperature for the low in Chicago?
Note: All temperatures are in Fahrenheit
July 14, 1995 – with a Low of 82.94.
July 14, 1995 – with a Low of 82.94.
I had to fight with the NOAA datasets for a bit to get at the best source of information and ultimately ended up with the High and Low Temperatures from Chicago’s O’Hare Airport from Jan 1, 1975 through July 13, 2013.
Sorting the data descending on the “Minimum Temperature” to bring the highest “Low Temperatures” to the top, we end up with the following:
Date Low High 7/14/1995 82.94 100.04 7/15/1980 82.04 98.06 7/6/2012 82.04 102.92 7/13/1995 80.96 104 7/23/2012 80.96 96.98
Just out of curiosity, here’s the top 5 High Temperatures:
Date Low High 7/13/1995 80.96 104 6/20/1988 73.04 104 7/6/2012 82.04 102.92 7/5/2012 78.98 102.92 6/25/1988 66.02 102.92
Check out that last one! There’s almost a 37 degree difference across the day!

Wow! Look at all that research! Your answer was faster than Yahoo Answers, Quora, Ask.com, and six Chicago meteorlogists on twitter!
