Chicago experiences a distinct severe weather season from April through August, often driven by powerful midwestern squall lines and supercells. Notable events include the May 2020 derecho and frequent spring hailstorms that cause millions in roof and auto damage across the metro area. The city's proximity to Lake Michigan can also influence local storm intensity and hail distribution.
