(The Center Square) – Even though the official start of fall has come and gone, most of Illinois is experiencing a warming trend, with temperatures in the mid-80s. Meteorologist Ben Duebelbeiss of the National Weather Service says a string of days with temperatures in the 80s wrapping up September may seem out of the ordinary, but it is not as unusual as some people might think. 'It's pretty common to have temperatures into the 80s well into October,' Duebelbeiss said. The mean date for the last 80-degree maximum temperature is Oct.
