About Stay Cool Chicago

Chicago summers are no joke. Triple-digit heat indexes, humidity you can chew, and a city full of people who swear they'll "tough it out" until they absolutely can't.

Hi, I'm Martin. I built Stay Cool Chicago because finding a cooling center shouldn't require a lot of hard work while you're sweating through your shirt.

This is a free, no-signup, no-nonsense site that shows you where to go when your home turns into a sauna. It uses official City of Chicago data and gets out of your way. That's it. No ads, no accounts, no agenda — just air conditioning and relief.

Stay hydrated. Stay cool. Stay Chicago.
