Local time UTC-5Checked 1,746 viewsHDCity

This live stream looks toward downtown Chicago from the Willis Tower area, one of the most recognisable skyscraper districts in the United States. It is useful for checking how the city looks right now, whether the skyline is clear, and what the sky is doing above Lake Michigan.

About the place

Chicago sits on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan in Illinois and is the largest city in the Midwest. The Willis Tower, formerly known as the Sears Tower, has long been one of the tallest buildings in the country and anchors the Loop, the central business district. The surrounding streets combine office towers, theatres, museums and river walks along the Chicago River, giving the city a dense and layered character.

What the camera shows

The title places the camera at the Willis Tower, so the view is likely dominated by downtown high-rises and the broader skyline. Depending on the angle and weather, you may be able to make out the lakefront and the river. Mornings with clear air often give the sharpest outlines, while late afternoon and dusk bring warm light to the glass facades and, after dark, the city lights.

Climate and getting around

Chicago has a continental climate with cold, windy winters and warm, humid summers. Spring and early autumn are generally the most comfortable times to visit. The city is well served by the L train network, buses and the lakefront paths. A few other cameras in the Chicago area are listed on this page, so you can compare conditions across different parts of the city.
