Longest cloudy stretch since meteorologists started keeping sunshine records back in 1893.

29 Jan 2020 – And 2nd cloudiest January on record.

December 29, 1991 through January 9, 1992 turned out to be the city’s longest cloudy stretch since meteorologists started keeping sunshine records back in 1893. What’s more, on Tuesday at midnight, Chicago was set to close out the city’s 2nd cloudiest January on record, only behind January 1998.

For some reason, wgntv chose a different headline:

Chicago has gone 8 days with no sun – the cloudiest spell in over 25 years
