PRACTICAL RECENT WEATHER
Start with the question you need to answer.
This past-weather lookup uses nearby station observations as context, not a property measurement. YesterSky names the station and distance, keeps missing rain distinct from zero, and labels temperatures as samples.
Did it rain yesterday? Review available rain evidence without turning missing or overlapping reports into a daily total.
Did it freeze last night? Check sampled cold across both dates of an overnight period.
Was it windy yesterday? Read sustained-wind samples, decoded gusts and gaps carefully.

ABOUT THIS STATION
O’Hare is this pilot’s Chicago reference
- Reporting station
- Chicago O'Hare International Airport · KORD
- Local time zone
- America/Chicago
- Reference distance
- 24.6 km straight-line from the 2026 U.S. Census Chicago place reference point
This page uses KORD at O’Hare, rather than combining reports across Chicago airports. Chicago Midway is closer to the Census reference point used for our displayed distance. The selected station remains visible throughout a result so an O’Hare observation is not mistaken for a measurement at another part of Chicago.
Dates follow Central time, using America/Chicago. The local-day window accounts for daylight saving, including the repeated hour in autumn and the missing hour in spring. Observation times show the relevant time-zone abbreviation.
A Chicago report may contain a 24-hour precipitation amount even when an hourly amount is absent. YesterSky keeps each available reporting period separate. A reported 24-hour amount does not, by itself, establish the rainfall between local midnight and midnight on the selected date.
Choose any of the previous 30 local dates. Reported precipitation periods are shown separately; a local-day rain total is unavailable. Read how dates, sampled readings and missing reports are handled.
