Looks like it'll be fairly typical until Thursday and Friday next week. 93 and 97 respectively for those days according to the weather for Lakeview. It goes back down to the mid-80s after that.

Believe it or not, Minneapolis is just as humid and even worse due to a lake within every 5 mile radius!
Winters are a tad less severe up here. Been up here for 5 years.

Wouldn't Chicago be more consistently humid because of the huge Lake Michigan on its east side and Chicago being further south than Minneapolis?

I've actually read that the opposite is true. We have lake michigan to regulate humidity. I'd have to dig up the science behind it. Makes sense, as the time i've spent in Dayton and Columbus OH have been way more humid.

I can't swim the freestyle very well, so to cheat on swimming I'd use a swim goggle and a snorkel. I'd like to use a boat for fishing, and I don't swim well, - that's why. But you can't test snorkels in Chicago Public swimming pools.

I agree. July and August are mostly endurance contests, and I'm usually glad to see the arrival of fall. If we could only pre-order a defined summer, say "nothing over 85" and dropping down to at least 60 every night, then summer would be more enjoyable. No such luck..

I love hot weather. If anything, I wish North America was 20 degrees further south in latitude.

It's not so much the heat. It's the humidity that's killer.

I was in California last week. While it was hot, the humidity was low so you didn't feel miserable and drained if you were outside for an extended period of time.
