Climate:

Lake Erie has a great effect on Cleveland’s climate, especially during the summer months, when high temperatures and humidity are tempered by cool lake breezes. Average summer temperatures top out in the 80s, although days in the 90s are not uncommon. Gentle rains are common in the spring, and thunderstorms are most frequent in late summer. Winter temps average below freezing, and lake breezes will make it feel even cooler.
