LAST YEAR WAS ONE FOR THE RECORD BOOKS ACCORDING TO THE STATE’S CLIMATOLOGIST.
2017 SHAPED UP TO BE THE SIXTH WARMEST YEAR ON RECORD IN ILLINOIS SAYS STATE CLIMATOLOGIST JIM ANGEL.
THOSE TEMPS DID VARY QUITE A BIT WITH FEBRUARY WAY ABOVE AVERAGE AND AUGUST PRETTY COOL. STATEWIDE PRECIPITATION LAST YEAR CAME IN MORE THAN TWO INCHES BELOW NORMAL.
ANGEL SAYS ILLINOIS SAW A VERY WET SPRING BUT NOW THERE ARE A FEW SPOTS WITH DROUGHT CONDITIONS.
