Heat and humidity horrible
Here in north Florida. Got up to 95 today. Did not make it to beach, even. Flip flop day too. Sox and shoes would be killers. Hope it’s better where you are.

"It never gets this warm here in the summer."
From Wikipedia:
The 1995 Chicago heat wave was a heat wave which led to 739 heat-related deaths in Chicago over a period of five days. Most of the victims of the heat wave were elderly poor residents of the city, who could not afford air conditioning and did not open windows or sleep outside for fear of crime. The heat wave also heavily impacted the wider Midwestern region, with additional deaths in both St. Louis, Missouri and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The temperatures soared to record highs in July with the hottest weather occurring from July 12 to July 16. The high of 106 °F (41 °C) on July 13 was the second warmest July temperature (warmest being 110 °F (43 °C) set on July 23, 1934) since records began at Chicago Midway International Airport in 1928. Nighttime low temperatures were unusually high — in the upper 70s and lower 80s °F (about 26 °C)

What are the earliest and latest dates of Chicago’s 90-degree temperatures of the season?

Dear Tom,
What are the earliest and latest dates of Chicago’s 90-degree temperatures of the season? Have there been any years without any?
Nick Recchia, River Grove
Dear Nick,
In 148 years of official Chicago temperature records dating from 1871, only a single year has failed to produce a temperature of 90 degrees: 1875. The highest temperature that year was 89 degrees, registered on June 11. The observation station then was located in downtown Chicago, very near Lake Michigan. It is likely that temperatures farther inland did record 90-degree readings, but nevertheless 89 degrees is the official measurement. The earliest 90-degree reading occurred in 1930, on April 10, at the University of Chicago, which was at the time the official observation station. The latest occurrence was on October 6, 1963, at Midway Airport, when the temperature jumped to 94 degrees.
