Weather by month
Niagara Falls
New York
Two entirely different visits: a warm crowded summer, and a long grey winter that does something to the falls nothing else can.
The best time to come
Late May and June give you high water and mild weather before the July crush; September is the quietest of the good months with the boats still running. Come in the depths of winter instead if the ice is what you want, and dress like you mean it.
