WEATHER

Cleveland as viewed from the waters of Lake Erie

Located on the southern shore of Lake Erie (41° 24' N, 81° 51' W) Cleveland has a seasonal climate with cold snowy winters and warm sunny summers. Lake Erie, the shallowest of the five Great Lakes, offers a moderating effect on the weather, keeping summers slightly cooler and winters slightly warmer than they might be further inland. Autumn in Cleveland, running from September through November generally offers moderate weather with clear skies and brilliant October foliage. Springtime conditions can vary. From March through April the weather can bring anything from cold and snow to warm sunshine.

Visitors should check the forecast and pack accordingly. While lighter clothing is generally appropriate in summer, heavy coats and boots are practical in winter.
