Between 2020 and 2025, NOAA's Storm Events Database logged 9 hail days and 46 days with damaging thunderstorm winds in DuPage County. The largest hail reported was 2.5 inches across. Hail flattens the thin aluminum fins on condenser coils and cuts airflow. After a big storm, take a look at the outdoor unit; homeowners insurance often covers the damage. DuPage County also had 12 tornado days in that period.
