Memorial Day Climate Stats


A warm Memorial Day with highs reaching the middle 80's, fairly close to the average temperature we experience during Memorial Day.

Most Memorial Days in Rockford are spent in the 70's and 80's; 74 of them over the past 109 years. Only one Memorial day was spent below 50°, that was on May 28th in 1934 with a high of 47°. The warmest Memorial Day was observed May 30th 1934 where temperatures made it to 96°

Memorial Day is also typically dry in Rockford, with 55 of the 109 years dry and another 14 years with just trace amounts.

I hope you have a blessed and happy Memorial Day today, and remember what the holiday is truly about!
