🧵 2/3
* #Chicago has never had “dry heat” in the summer. You can usually expect it to be very humid in August. (Although this week is forecast to be unusually nice weather.)
* The #Pedway connects underground RTA train stops and various parts of the city. It’s clean, safe, has public BATHROOMS (usually), and provides a cool walk in hot weather. Look for the yellow compass symbol above and below street level.
