What counts as a good day for the kids

The same rule for every city on the list, so the verdicts compare: between 60° and 85°, dew point under 65° so it does not feel sticky, rain chance under 25%, wind under 15 mph, and at least four of those hours in a row between 10 am and 6 pm. The wording names its own confidence: is within a day or two, looks like at three or four, may be beyond that, because that is how forecasts age.

Chicago, for a day out

Chicago's season for this is late spring to early autumn; outside it, the page will say so plainly. Lincoln Park has a free zoo and the lakefront path, the Museum Campus is a fine walk between museums, and the beaches along Lake Michigan are the city's best-kept summer secret for families who live inland.

Your places. Your idea of a good day.

This page uses one rule for everyone in Chicago. Perfect Day watches your places against your idea of a good day, a warmer beach day, a cooler hike, an evening walk, and sends one plain message to everyone on the account when one is coming.
