So that's like Hong Kong. I hear it gets uncomfortably cold indoors there in the dead of winter, like 15-16C indoor temps. I'm glad we have heat in Phoenix even though we only need it for about 10-12 weeks a year
Yep here in the winter it often feels warmer outside because it is so damp/humid. I don't use a heater that often, most of the time I use a dehumidifier, it helps stop mold growing on the walls too which is nice
MDW has an avg high low of 29.3C/19.7C
My nearest NWS station 29.7C/17.7C.
And I agree its just warm not hot.
And I just came back from Phoenix where itcwas perfect. Now come July and Aug when its routinely above 45C+.. that is arguably as difficult as winter here.
Well, wouldn't using MDW be like me using the Franklin Institute for Philly lol. That is much closer in to the city. Anway, at least you agree it is warm and certainly not hot. Even our avg high of 88F in July (Franklin I) I still consider warm. 90f and over for an avg monthly high is a hot summer climate.

Wow, that's a really high threshold! That means none of Havana, Hong Kong, Cairns, Miami Beach have hot summers.
For here I would say that a summer month with an average high above 26.0c would be considered a hot month. An individual day needs to be above 30.0c to be considered hot.

ORD is 12 miles from the lake and MDW is 9 miles. ORD is more representative of northwest suburbs than the city proper. MDW is more urban, though UofC would be even more urban than MDW, and closer to downtown. Both have similar temps.
My definition of hot summers starts with St Louis and go southward. On the east coast it would be DC/Baltimore and points south. Very hot of course is Texas, Arizona...
To me, a summer needs to have an average high above 84-86 to be considered hot. Rochester does not have hot summers IMO. There are hot days but the majority of summer isn't hot.
