Here are descriptions on how to interpret these graphs:

 

Climate plot for Chicago O'Hare for July 2015

This is an example of the monthly climate plot.  The observed high and low temperatures are indicated by the tops and bottoms of the vertical blue bars, respectively.  The normal temperature ranges are indicated by the green band.  Record highs are shown on the top of the light pink band, and record lows are indicated along the bottom of the light blue band.

 

Chicago O'Hare climate data for 2014

This is an example of the year to date climate plot.  As with the monthly plot, observed temperatures are shown by the dark blue areas, normals with the light green areas, record highs in the light red areas, and record lows in the light blue areas.

The bottom portion of the graph indicates the precipitation and snowfall for the year to date.  The yellow line (and green area below it) represents the normal year to date total at the given time frame.  Periods that have year to date totals above the climatological normals are shown by dark green areas above the yellow line.  Periods that are below normal are shown with the brown areas below the yellow line.
