city in the Lower 48 states that has never recorded a temperature of 100°F.

Impact & Risks

Buffalo's reputation as a 'climate haven' has drawn attention from those looking to escape extreme heat in other parts of the U.S. However, experts warn that no region is entirely safe from the effects of climate change. While Buffalo's current climate offers some advantages, the city is still vulnerable to other climate-related challenges, such as flooding and air pollution. Additionally, the rising demand for housing in Buffalo could strain local resources and infrastructure.
