Climate & seasonal risk
Chicago Heights averages 42.1 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at PARK FOREST 2.6 miles away, with June the wettest month at 4.91 inches. June leads at 4.91 inches of a 42.1 inch year, as summer storms that can drop two inches in an evening on flat clay that drains slowly at the best of times. The basements here are sixty and seventy years old, and their original clay tile drains have long since silted up or collapsed, so a June storm that the drainage system once handled now stands against the foundation wall until it finds a crack.
