Buffalo, New York’s Hottest Day The Year You Were Born

This may be one of the hottest summers ever recorded in New York State! The forecast is calling for things to get very uncomfortable as we get closer to the weekend. The heat and humidity will be brutal this Friday across Western New York.

The good news? We are getting closer to fall and football season. In fact, the Buffalo Bills begin their training camp at St. John Fisher University this week. Opening day is only a few weeks away and that typically means cooler weather.

But the heat and humidity in July and August is not really a new thing. In fact, there 90-degree days every year in Western New York and at the Buffalo Airport. If you grew up here, you know that summer is way too short. But what was the high temperature in Buffalo, New York the year that you were born?

I found a website that shows that high temps for each year in Buffalo, New York going back decades. I was born in 1977 and the high temperature that year was 91 degrees on July 18th!
