InterContinental Milwaukee

Weather

Milwaukee's weather is tempered somewhat by Lake Michigan, but winter cold and summer heat feel more intense with the state's high humidity. Be prepared for dramatic changes in temperature from one day to the next. Summer high temperatures are generally in the upper 70s F/low 20s C, with some days reaching 90 F/32 C. Milwaukee is most pleasant in late spring, early summer and fall, with warm days (70-80 F/21-26 C) and cool nights (44-52 F/5-11 C). Winters can be downright freezing, with an average of 12 days below 0 F/-17 C. Milwaukeeans are very efficient at clearing the streets after a snowstorm (most years see more than 30 in/75 cm).
