CLEVELAND, Ohio — Summer’s final stretch has felt more like fall in Northeast Ohio, with an unusually long run of chilly days and even colder nights.

Since Aug. 21, every night at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport has come in below the historical average, part of a 22-day streak of cooler-than-normal lows through Sept. 11. It’s one of the longest such runs on record since 1938, when record-keeping was moved to the airport.

Daytime highs have nearly matched that persistence, staying below normal on all but one day during that span — in some cases by almost 20 degrees.

While past decades have seen similar late-summer cold snaps, this year’s chill stands out both for its duration and intensity, locking the region into one of the most remarkable cool endings to summer on record.
