Climate & seasonal risk
May is the wettest month here at 4.7 inches, part of an annual 40.61 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from OAK PARK 1.3 NNE, 1.4 miles off. May leads at 4.70 inches of a 40.61 inch year, spring storms on a village with almost no open ground left. Combined sewers surcharge into 1938 limestone and block cellars when a May cell exceeds the pipes, and the clay under the lake plain will not take what the sewers cannot, so the basement is the leftover volume.
