🌡 The weather here, in general
Joliet gets a real winter. January nights average 19°F, and July highs reach about 83°F — a 64-degree swing across the year. Cold that deep is its own hazard: exposed skin, car batteries and water pipes all have opinions about it.
Genuinely hot days are uncommon — about 6 a year reach 90°F. That is precisely why they catch people out: air conditioning is far from universal in a place that only needs it a fortnight a year.
Snow shows up most years — about 25 inches — but rarely in quantity. 113 freezing nights a year matter more, because the risk here is ice rather than depth.
Rainfall averages about 47 inches a year, wettest in June and driest in February.
