Official National Weather Service observations at Chicago O'Hare recorded a maximum of 83°F on August 28, 2026, at 2:32 PM local time—slightly above the 1991–2020 climatological normal of 81°F and well below the date's historical record of 97°F. This verified reading from the primary reporting station drove the market's near-certain consensus on the 82–83°F bin, reflecting traders' reliance on authoritative NOAA data over models or forecasts. A late revision, station-specific discrepancy, or rare measurement error could theoretically shift resolution, though such adjustments are uncommon once preliminary climatological reports are issued.
