Description
The Chicago Park District maintains weather sensors at beaches along Chicago’s Lake Michigan lakefront. These sensors generally capture the indicated measurements hourly while the sensors are in operation during the summer. During other seasons and at some other times, information from the sensors may not be available.

Data Fields
Name | Description | Type | Constraints |
---|---|---|---|
Station_Name | Name of station where sensors are maintained | string | - |
Measurement_Date_And_Time | The date and time when the measurements were taken | datetime | - |
Air_Temperature | Air Temperature in Celsius degrees. | number | level : Interval |
Wet_Bulb_Temperature | Wet bulb temperature in Celsius degrees. | number | level : Interval |
Humidity | Percent relative humidity. | integer | level : Ratio |
Rain_Intensity | Rain intensity in mm per hour. | number | level : Ratio |
Interval_Rain | Rain since the last hourly measurement, in mm. | string | - |
Total_Rain | Total rain since midnight in mm. | number | level : Ratio |
Precipitation_Type | 60 = Liquid precipitation, e.g. rain - Ice, hail and sleet are transmitted as rain (60). 70 = Solid precipitation, e.g. snow 40 = unspecified precipitation | integer | level : Ratio |
