What's the Hottest Weather Temperature Ever Recorded in Chicago in April?

Do you know what the hottest weather temperature ever recorded in Chicago is in the month of April? The answer to that weather trivia question will probably shock and astound you as April is still in Spring and the record high temperature for the month is incredibly hot.



The average daily temperature in Chicago in the month of April is just 48.6 degrees. The record hottest temperature for the month of April is way hotter than the daily average.

Weather temperatures have officially been kept in Chicago since 1872. So the hottest temperature record for April is from 1872 until the present day. 



What's the Hottest Weather Temperature Ever Recorded in Chicago in April?


  • 91 degrees on April 30, 1942


That's right the hottest weather temperature ever recorded in Chicago in the month of April is a sweltering 91 degrees. That record hottest temperature for the month of was set on April 30, 1942, and was matched on April 22, 1980.

How unusual is a 90 degree weather temperature day in Chicago in April? Since 1872, there have only been four times when the temperature reached 90 degrees in the city in the month of April. In addition to the two record dates listed above it was also 90 degrees exactly on both April 10 and 11, 1930.

Days when the temperature reaches 80 degrees in Chicago in April are more common but still pretty rare. When was the last time it was 80 degrees in Chicago in April? I believe that was on April 25, 2016, when it was 82 degrees.

Will the temperature rise to 90 degrees this April in Chicago? Since it's only happened four times since 1872 it's not likely the city will see a 90 degree weather temperature day this April but a 80 degree weather temperature day could certainly happen this year.
