Illinois rainfall shortfall and wind counts in 2025
Illinois had a dry 2025. NOAA's Climate at a Glance statewide series (2025 data) records 32.96 inches of precipitation for the year, 7.78 inches below the 1991 to 2020 average of 40.74 inches. Measured in inches, only three of the 49 states in the series fell further below their own averages that year.
Thunderstorm wind was frequent all the same. The Storm Events Database 2025 details file (dated August 19, 2026) lists 978 Illinois records with event type Thunderstorm Wind, sixth among the 50 states, and 40 with event type High Wind.
Each Storm Events record stands for one county or forecast zone hit by one event. A wide storm line can produce several records on one day, so the count measures how many areas reported wind, not how many storms occurred.
Housing age and structure type in Illinois
Illinois has some of the oldest housing in the country. In the Census Bureau's table B25034 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024), 63.5% of Illinois housing units were built before 1980, the sixth highest share of the 50 states, and the median year built in table B25035 is 1971.
Detached houses are a smaller share in Illinois than in most states. Table B25024 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024) counts 58.2% of Illinois housing units as single-family detached. The rest are attached homes, buildings with two or more units and mobile homes, each counted in its own row of the table.
Illinois home repair rules that reach siding and gutter jobs
This section is general information, not legal advice. It summarizes official sources as of October 7, 2026; check the current text of each rule before relying on it.
For general home repair work, Illinois guidance points to the Home Repair and Remodeling Act. The Attorney General's guide to choosing a contractor (Rev 07/26) tells homeowners to verify that the contractor has the public liability and property damage insurance the Act requires.
Timing and dispute terms are covered in the Attorney General's Know Your Rights sheet (revised 2019). If the contractor fails to begin or complete the work within the contracted time, the homeowner may cancel and may be entitled to a refund of payments on written demand by certified mail. A contractor whose contract requires binding arbitration must tell the consumer before signing and let the consumer accept or reject that clause and the jury trial waiver.
The absence of a state general contractor license, the roofer license and the three-day right to cancel a sale made at the residence are summarized on leads in Illinois.
