How scary will the weather be for trick or treaters? This year's Halloween may be chilly in Chicago but the trend favors warmer Halloween nights for our future.
Monday and Tuesday could be collectively two of the coldest days we have seen since early March. There is even that scary four-letter word for precipitation in the forecast. You might want to consider a costume that has a lot of layers. Before I get to the forecast for Tuesday I wanted to look at the weather from past Halloweens.'s Halloweens are cool and dry. The average high on Oct. 31 is in the middle 50s with the average low near 40 degrees.
The thrill might not be gone for trick-or-treaters, but the chill isn't what it used to be. Halloween nights have gotten warmer on average since 1970. Climate Central did a study of 244 U.S. cities and their analysis reveals 89% of them have seen October nights warm between the period 1970 to 2022. Fall temperatures have warmed by nearly 3 degrees on average across the country during this period. More specifically, October nights have warmed by 2.
