Locals know: in the Windy City, checking the forecast is more like taking directions from gas station employee along the road — you have to double-check the info every couple of hours to stay safe.
What weather to expect today in Chicago?
Depends on who’s asking. Or rather, when they’re asking. Winter? That’s the season of serious layers, Arctic-grade puffer jackets, and frozen faces peeking out from under scarves. You can spot the seasoned Chicagoans by their intense power-walking style, perfected for getting from Point A to Point B without becoming a human-sized icicle.
Then spring comes… or does it? Chicago spring is a guessing game where sunshine one day could mean sleet the next. It's a test of hope and patience, with locals cautiously swapping parkas for rain jackets, wondering if this year’s spring will actually be real.
