CHICAGO (STNG) -- If you are having trouble remembering what a sunny day in Chicago looks like, you are not alone.
The Chicago area hasn't had many of them lately. According to the National Weather Service, there were only two sunny days for the entire month of October.
For the record, a day with 30 percent or less cloud cover from sunrise to sunset is classified as "clear." The last clear day in Chicago was October 18. The only other clear day in October was the 5th, according to the weather service.
Eleven of the last 12 days of the month were classified as "cloudy," with at least 80 percent cloud cover from sunrise to sunset. In contrast, there were 12 clear days in September, with 11 of them coming in a prolonged stretch of pleasant weather in the first three weeks of the month.
As for Sunday, the weather service says high temperatures will be in the lower 50s and it will be partly sunny. At night, though, the skies will take on a more familiar appearance, as temperatures drop into the 40s and it will be ... mostly cloudy.
