Chicago experiences all four seasons fully. Hot and humid summer days send locals and tourists alike to the refreshing waters of Lake Michigan; summer nights are balmy, long, and best savored on an outdoor patio.

Chicago winters can be cold, damp, and overcast, but the chilly weather means much fewer crowds.
