The climate of Niagara Falls (Canada)
Niagara Falls is located in the southern part of Canada bordering the
state of New York in the United States. Niagara Falls is situated on
the Niagara River which is the borderline between Niagara Falls and
the Niagara waterfalls in the United States. Niagara Falls is one of
the largest and best known waterfalls in the world. The waterfalls can
be divided into three sections: Horseshoe Falls, American Falls and
Bridal Veil Falls. Horseshoe Falls is the largest and is situated in
Canada entirely. The two smaller falls are situated in America. The
waterfalls are an important energy generator. During the evening the
falls are lit in a spectacular way. Niagara Falls has a wet land
climate with precipitation evenly spread out over the year. During the
winter subzero temperatures are not uncommon. Large amounts of snow
can be expected as well. Summers are pleasant without ever getting too
warm. Obviously humidity figures are much higher in the vicinity of
the Niagara Falls than in the surrounding areas.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
