Month-by-Month Guide
January
The data shows 33°C (92°F) highs, which is unrealistic for either Peoria location in January. Peoria, IL typically experiences freezing conditions with snow, while Peoria, AZ sees pleasant 65-70°F temperatures - ideal for outdoor activities. The minimal rainfall shown could align with Arizona's dry winter season.
February
Showing 38°C (101°F), which doesn't match either location's typical February weather. In reality, this would still be winter conditions in Illinois and spring-like weather in Arizona. The extremely low rainfall is consistent with Arizona's dry season but not Illinois.
March
The data indicates 51°C (124°F), which is physically dangerous and unrealistic. March typically brings spring warming in both locations, with Illinois still quite cool and Arizona reaching comfortable 75-80°F temperatures. Rainfall patterns would normally increase in Illinois during this month.
April
Showing an impossible 63°C (146°F), far exceeding survivable temperatures. April would realistically bring mild spring weather to Illinois (60s-70s°F) and warming conditions to Arizona (80s-90s°F). The slight rainfall increase shown doesn't match typical spring patterns for either location.
May
The 74°C (165°F) reading is beyond any recorded Earth temperature. May typically sees pleasant 70s-80s°F in Illinois with spring storms, or hot 95-100°F conditions beginning in Arizona. The minimal rainfall shown doesn't align with Illinois's wetter spring season.
June
Indicating 83°C (181°F), which is incompatible with life. June brings summer heat to both locations - around 85°F in Illinois with humidity and storms, or 105°F in Arizona as extreme heat sets in. Arizona's monsoon season typically begins late in the month.
July
The peak temperature of 86°C (187°F) is impossibly high. July is typically the hottest month in both locations - around 86°F with high humidity in Illinois, or 106°F in Arizona. Arizona usually experiences monsoon thunderstorms, which isn't reflected in the minimal rainfall shown.
August
Showing 84°C (184°F), which remains unrealistic. August maintains summer heat in both locations with similar conditions to July. The consistently low rainfall contradicts Illinois's summer storm patterns and Arizona's monsoon season, which peaks in August.
September
The 78°C (173°F) reading is still impossibly high. September brings cooling in both locations - comfortable 70s-80s°F in Illinois with decreasing humidity, or still-hot 100°F in Arizona as monsoons taper off. Fall color season begins in Illinois.
October
Indicating 65°C (149°F), which doesn't reflect reality. October typically offers pleasant fall weather in Illinois (60s°F) with peak foliage, while Arizona cools to comfortable 88°F - marking the beginning of the ideal season. Rainfall shown is too low for Illinois's autumn patterns.
November
Showing 51°C (123°F), which is unrealistic for November. Illinois would typically experience cooling toward winter (40s-50s°F) with occasional early snow, while Arizona reaches perfect 70s°F weather. The minimal rainfall doesn't match Illinois's late autumn precipitation.
December
The 38°C (101°F) reading is inconsistent with winter conditions. December brings cold, potentially snowy weather to Illinois (30s°F) and mild, pleasant conditions to Arizona (65°F). The dry pattern shown aligns with Arizona but not Illinois's winter precipitation.
