It is unprecedented but in the month of August in 2017, there were no 90-degree days in parts of Illinois.
National Weather Service Meteorologist Chris Miller says it is hard to believe as August is typically thought of as a very warm month.
Additionally, Illinois remains very dry. Miller says they saw a lot of the weather patterns out of the northwest which brought in cooler temperatures and below average rainfall.
Miller says right now, central Illinois especially, could use a good rainfall. He also predicts September remaining cooler.
