Signs of Summer: Warm Weather Brings Local Fun (PHOTOS)

Summer-like temperatures came to Northcenter and Roscoe Village last week, bringing residents out of their homes to enjoy local luxuries including dog play areas, parks and window shopping.

The weather was a welcomed change from heavy rainfall last month—the wettest on record since 1947.

The city saw more than 8.5 inches of rain in April, according to reports. Nearly 4 inches of that total came April 18, when floodwater took over much of the city. The worst-hit area was Albany Park.

After more rain followed last week's 80-degree temperatures, the sun is set to return Monday.

The National Weather Service predicts temperatures in the high 60s and 70s Monday through Wednesday. 

Patch editors took to the streets to capture the sights and sounds of what's hopefully to come—a warm summer filled with plenty of sunshiney days to enjoy the outdoors.
