This is an expansion of our post “10 Smart Niagara Falls Travel Tips”. In our Niagara Falls travel tips blog posting, we advise you to bring the proper clothing. We thought we’d expand on that section and give you a little more information!
Visting Niagara Falls In Winter – Make sure you bring plenty of warm clothes – sweaters, gloves, hats and ear muffs to be exact. Our temperatures in the winter season can get very cold with days at a time often below freezing. The Niagara Falls area is notorious for wind that whips off the lakes surrounding the falls – which produces a nasty wind chill of below zero, yes – below zero temperatures . You’ll want to make sure if you are visiting in the winter time that you plan your outdoor activities according to the warmest part of the day.
Visiting Niagara Falls in Spring – Ahh, the melting snow, the launch of the Maid of the Mist. It’s spring in Niagara Falls. Not just shorts weather yet – and make sure you bring your lightweight jacket. Weather tends to be sunny with rainy periods and with highs in the 50s to mid 60s. Flowers bloom, birds chirp.
Visiting Niagara Falls in Summer – Up and down, hot and humid. July and August can reach highs in the upper 80s to mid 90s with very high humidity, well just because we are around so much water. Bring your sun block solution and shades – you’ll need ‘em.
Visiting Niagara Falls In Autumn – Fall- Our favorite time of year. Crisp, cool and comfortable. Pack jeans and your lightweight jackets to enjoy the outdoors and changing of the leaves.
Generally while on your Niagara Falls vacation casual is the order of the day. There are fine dining restaurants, however, at most upscale restaurants, business casual is the order of the day. Pack a paid of khakis and a polo shirt and you can’t go wrong.
