Although this winter is reported to be one of the warmest, Chicago has seen harsh winters with record breaking temperatures.
In Jan. 2019, the coldest temperature in Chicago in 34 years of 23 degrees below zero was recorded. To combat these extreme temperatures and help its residents, the City of Chicago has warming centers across the city to help those in need.
According to data from the Chicago Data Portal, warming centers range from libraries to police stations. With summer quickly approaching, cooling centers will be the new concern for Chicago residents.
