Summer is an ideal time of year to visit Wisconsin. As June turns to July, high temperatures typically range from mid-70’s to low-80’s, with lows between 50-60. As temps rise, so does humidity – though it’s not uncomfortably high. Lush green views are the norm in Wisconsin, in late June, with everything in bloom. Weather can be unpredictable so to be prepared pack rain gear and layers.
