April 4th in Niles lands right in the heart of that unpredictable spring stretch — expect a high around 53° and a low near 33°, with nearly a coin-flip chance of precipitation. The date has swung wildly over 129 years of records, from a balmy 77° back in 1921 all the way down to a brutal 18° in 1936.
Niles has seen some genuine extremes over its 133-year record book — the thermometer once hit 109° in July 1934 and plunged to -22° in January 1897, a swing of 131 degrees. A single August day in 2016 dropped 7.69 inches of rain, and a January 2011 snowstorm buried the area under 26 inches in one shot.
Summer is the sweet spot here — highs peak around 84°–85° in mid-July, making late summer the go-to for warm-weather visits. If you're cold-averse, avoid late January through early February, when highs only reach the low 30s. The wettest stretch runs early-to-mid May, so pack accordingly for spring trips.
