Cicada 2024 Chicago Time. April 17, 2024 3:42 pm edt. A rare and likely massive emergence of two different broods of cicadas is expected in 2024 and while illinois is in a unique position to see it all unfold, where can you.
For the first time in over 200 years, a “double brood” emergence of two extremely large cicada populations, brood xiii and brood xix, will simultaneously rise out of the ground this spring, flooding the chicagoland area with their signature chorusing. The exact emergence timing varies by location and other factors, the largest being soil temperatures.
