Worth knowing for Illinois: this is a continental climate, which means humid summers, cold winters, and frequent severe-storm activity across the central plains. A well-spec'd awning for this region should account for the local wind exposure (high, with derecho events on record) and UV load (moderate) — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation.The COOPER ASH 4835-0000 fabric on this estimate is a reasonable match for continental conditions — solution-dyed acrylics handle Illinois's sun (moderate) better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Estimating in the winter of 2026 is typical for Illinois — most awning installations book in the shoulder months, when installer availability is better and material lead times shorten to 3–6 weeks.
