Current Weather In Chicago?

Arriving Wednesday, the weather reports indicate that it is very hot, mid eighties, with no sign of rain this week.

What are the evenings like, do you need a jumper or cardigan when walking around?

Many thanks.

Mid-80%26#39;s is not generally considered very hot in summer in Chicago. This is quite normal for summer.

Additional layers of clothing probably won%26#39;t be necessary in the evening. The only exception might be if you are out on a boat or right next to the lake (on Navy Pier, for example). Even then, I find that extra layers are not necessary.

Many thanksEbob very helpful.

I can reduce the packing!

Wasn%26#39;t there a weather report in the UK many years ago, ';70s again today - no relief in sight';? (I think Alistair Cooke mentioned it.)

This week is shaping up as warm but cooler near the lake. Mid-day today was probably 75F in the Loop and 85F in the western suburbs.

Saturday at Blues Festival it was pretty warm during the day -- when I was sitting in the sun I wished I had worn shorts -- but once the sun went down it was a lot cooler. I was OK in jeans and a polo shirt, but wouldn%26#39;t have minded long sleeves.

Thanks Chipset, at least it%26#39;s not raining!

Its supposed to beautiful through the weekend! Yes, you%26#39;ll need a sweater if you%26#39;re out and about in the evening, espeically near the lake. It might be 85 during the day...but it cools down quite a bit when the sun goes down...
