Last month's unusually balmy weather made it the warmest February on record in Chicago.
Saturday, March 2, 2024 5:02PMThe average daily temperature in February settled at 39.5 degrees, surpassing the previous record of 39 degrees set in 1882, according to the National Weather Service.There were a few main contributors to the mild month, said Rafal Ogorek, a meteorologist with the weather service.
"Usually when that happens, we have winds from the south that allow more air from the Gulf Coast to come up to the Midwest," Ogorek said. In place of more snow, the Chicago area endured severe thunderstorms, including at least 11 tornadoes, to cap the month. Climate change also likely played a role in the warmth, but it's "tough to quantify" the impact on a given month or year, Ogorek said. The extreme changes are mostly a result of the atmosphere continuously trying to maintain equilibrium, he added.
