| Milwaukee's proximity to Lake Michigan causes
a convection current to form mid-afternoon, resulting in the
so-called lake effect, causing the temperatures to be warmer
in the winter, and cooler in the summer ("cooler by the
lake" is practically boilerplate language for local meteorologists
during the summer). Also, the relative humidity in the summer
is far higher than that of comparable cities at the same latitude,
meaning that it feels hotter than it really is. |
| Milwaukee's all-time record high temperature is
105°F (41°C) set on July 17, 1995. The coldest temperature
ever experienced by the city was -26°F (-32°C) on both
January 17, 1982 and February 4, 1996. The 1982 event, also
known as Cold Sunday, featured temperatures as low as -40°F
(-40°C) in some of the suburbs as little as 10 miles (16km)
to the north of Milwaukee, although the city itself did not
approach such cold temperatures. |
