CHICAGO - Another scorching hot weekend is expected to engulf most of the Midwest starting on Friday.

Earlier this summer, we took a look at how the year 2025 stacked up against the last 67 years in Chicago.

Specifically, we dove into how many days during a given year that we can expect the daily high temperature to reach 90 degrees or hotter.

Since July 21, we have added seven more 90-degree days, bringing the total to 25 days.

The year of 2025 in Chicago has already exceeded the last four years in terms of 90-degree days. According to this criteria, the summer of 2025 ranks among the top 20% hottest summers in Chicago.

The data analyzed was sourced from O'Hare International Airport, where their weather station has kept a data log of weather variables since 1959.
