Buffalo has the sunniest and driest summer weather of any northeastern US city according to National Weather Service statistics, averaging 67% sunshine from May through September due to winds blowing away clouds. The lake also helps keep Buffalo cooler than other major cities with an average of only 3 days per year over 90 degrees, adding to enjoyable summers and falls. While Buffalo receives significant lake-effect snowfall, making it the snowiest major city, historically it was one of the largest cities in the early 20th century, allowing it to retain cultural amenities common to larger metropolitan areas despite population decline.

- 1. Buffalo facts thanks to Mark Gaughan of the Buffalo News! Buffalo is the sunniest, driest city in the Northeastern US from May through the end of September. ... That's according to National Weather Service Statistics. ... Buffalo gets on average something like 67 percent sunshine over those months. ... The reason is the lake. ... It helps blow clouds away ... (The same lake, of course, has the opposite affect in the winter, when it sends moisture up to the clouds, which then falls as snow.) ... Buffalo is sunnier and drier, statistically, than NYC, Boston, Philly, Pitt, Wash DC and even Charlotte NC. ... Buffalo also averages only 3 90-degree days a year ... the lake promotes a cooling breeze ... which adds to our wonderful summer and even fall. (Now, it is true that buffalo is the snowiest "big city" in the country. But there's no bad weather, only bad clothing.) Buffalo also benefits from the fact it was through the first half of the 20th century, one of the bigger cities in the country ... which is why we have so many of the benefits of a big city (philharmonic, theater, arts, sports teams, etc) ... even though we've shrunk. ...
