If you’ve been anxiously waiting for summertime weather in Chicagoland, your day has arrived.
After a cool start early Monday morning, temperatures will rise all the way into the mid- to upper 80s by the afternoon, a good 10-plus degrees warmer than normal for June 2.
We’ll also have mostly sunny skies in Chicagoland, but it’ll be hazy due to the Canadian wildfires that continue to burn and send smoke in our direction. There is no Air Quality Alert for Chicagoland to start Monday, but we’ll keep an eye out if that changes.
Winds out of the south will switch to south/southwest later Monday, with gusts up to 20 miles per hour, but it’ll be even windier on Tuesday. And also warmer, as Tuesday highs will approach 90 in some parts of Chicagoland.
Then it cools back down into the mid-60s for Wednesday, with rain likely.

Looking Ahead
After our long recent stretch of cooler-than-normal temps, we’ll see a big spike to start this week, with hot and humid conditions more in line with mid- or late summer than the first days of June.

As you can see below, temps in the mid- to upper 80s are 10-plus degrees warmer than normal for the first days of June.
But we’re in for a sharp dip on Wednesday, with temps possibly 10 degrees below normal. Things then look to level out close to seasonal averages as we get to the later part of this week and into the weekend.
