As befitting a midwestern city, Chicago experiences a wide range of temperatures. Visit at different times of the year for a different experience each time.

But it’s also the busiest season. Winters can get below freezing, but there’s still lots to do and less busy crowds.
What to wear
When visiting Chicago, dress according to the season. In spring (March to May), temperatures range from 40°F to 60°F, so dress warm with jackets, and sweaters. Also, consider waterproof items or an umbrella for the rain. Summer (June to August) can be hot and humid, with temperatures between 70°F and 90°F. So wear breathable clothing, think: linen, cotton and denim. In fall (September to November), temperatures range from 50°F to 70°F, so layering is key, along with scarves and light jackets. Winter (December to February) is cold, often below freezing. So be sure to bring a warm, insulated coat, gloves, hats, and waterproof boots. Regardless of the season, wear comfortable shoes. Walking is one of the best ways to explore Chicago.
