Dear Tom,
Can you recommend a book or website where I could find precipitation totals
broken down by day for Chicago's Official readings at O'Hare, going back
about three years? I am a big fan of both your work and of meteorology
itself.
Mike O'Connor
Dear Mike,
We receive many requests -- too many to answer individually -- for Chicago's
official daily weather statistics from O'Hare International Airport. Those
data (temperatures, precipitation, snowfall and wind) are available from
1998 to the present, free of charge, on the Chicago National Weather Service
web site www.crh.noaa.gov/lot
Once there, follow these steps: search down the left side for Climate and click on word
"Local"; click on the button for "Preliminary Monthly Climate Data (CF6)" under the
header, "1. Product"; click on the button for "Archived Data", under the "3 timeframe"
header; select the desired month and year, then click "Go".
