Chicago's summertime weather

Upvote:2

My new favourite weather site, WeatherSpark, has as one of its features an Averages page, such as this one for Chicago. The averges page gives a distribution of values for various weather metrics, over a year. The one relevant to this question would I think be Dew Point:

Dew point is often a better measure of how comfortable a person will find the weather than relative humidity because it more directly relates to whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid.

For Chicago, between early July and late August the daily dew point maximum will typically be in the 'muggy' range.

There's also a Wind Direction section which suggests that in summer the wind is from a westerly direction more often than not, but not dramatically so.

Disclaimer: I have never been to Chicago.
