    The wx can change very
    quickly!
    by erikatheskysailor
    Since Cleveland is a Great Lakes city, the weather can change quickly and even the forecasters aren't *always* correct because it can be quite variable. So, you basically should bring clothing & outerwear/gear that will suit for differing conditions; check the forecats ahead of time; Channel 3 has the most accurate forecasts. One day the temps will may be in the 20's and the 60's F the next...

    Maybe a tripod, because winds can be quite whipping and make still photos slightly tricky to get.

    Umbrella and windbreaker. Windbreaker mainly if you'll be downtown on a known windy day; the wind is oft faster than in Chicago; umbrella because we get a fair share of rain from the Lake-Effect wx systems.

    I found out that I packed to many stuff, because clothes and everything is so cheap in USA, that you do not nedd to pack anything with you. You can buy everything you need right there....
    One small bag is more that enouhg to pack.
    You just have to go to one of many Outlet stores or Malls and you can buy anything you need.
    ...... Mall in Downtown Cleveland .....

    Of course you must not forget your camera!!

  • Well, this REALLY depends on when you plan on visiting! Monday it was in the low 20's F and very windy with lots of snow and today it is in the mid 40's F and wet and rainy. tomorrow we could drop to 0 F and in the summers it can get as hot as 100+. An umbrella is a good choice no matter what time of year and if you are wearing drss shoes, rubber covers are not a bad plan.

    Bring Something Warm

  • Bring something warm, just in case, even if you're coming in the summer. It's surprising how long into the late Spring it stays cool at night.
    If you're relying on public transit, it probably goes without saying that you should bring good walking shoes. Downtown is really fun to walk around, as is University Circle.

    Buy bug repellant if coming in the summer

    Cleveland is very photogenic and abounds with public parks and beautiful architecture. Not to even mention the lake. You may be surprised with how many pictures you take.

    Weather reports are not always accurate here

  • Bring an Umbrella and wear layered clothing

    The weather can change and is quite variable so an umbrella and layer clothing may be a good idea. Since the area is near the Great Lakes rain is always a possiblity.
