The calendar switched to June 1 on Sunday, officially kicking off the three-month period of meteorological summer — June, July and August. But without the aid of a calendar, Chicagoland residents may have been confused, because it sure didn’t feel like summer was coming over the previous couple weeks. The second part of May was unseasonably cool, and the line of demarcation was a rare dust storm in Chicagoland.

It was a chilly start as June began for some areas in Chicagoland, with temperatures as low as the upper 30s during Sunday’s sunrise. But that’s changing quickly. We’re set for plenty of sun Sunday, though it could be hazy due to the Canadian wildfire smoke that’s being blown into our area by northerly winds. Those winds will gradually shift to southeast, however, so temps will rise to the low 70s inland by Sunday afternoon, though it’ll be closer to the mid-60s at the lakefront.

If you’re planning outdoor activities around Chicagoland for Memorial Day afternoon, you’re looking at ideal dry and sunny conditions. But make sure to have warmer clothes, especially if you’re near Lake Michigan. Temperatures will remain on the cool side Monday, with highs in some locations about 10 degrees below average. You’ll find the warmest temps in areas to the south and west of Chicago, where highs may reach the low 70s.

The Sunday of Memorial Day weekend should be mostly dry and sunny around Chicagoland, at least after some morning cloud cover and showers clear out. But the lengthy stretch of cool weather continues, even as we mark the unofficial first weekend of summer. We’re getting cloud cover and some scattered showers around the area early Sunday.
