Pittsburgh has a humid continental climate with warm, humid summers and cold, notably cloudy winters. At Pittsburgh International Airport, the 1991-2020 reference averages range from a daily high of 36°F (2°C) in Jan to 83°F (28°C) in Jul. Monthly precipitation averages sum to 39.6 inches (1006 mm) per year.
Winter is often cloudy, with snow showers and occasional larger storms. Rain and snowmelt can swell the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers in spring, while heavy rain can cause flooding in other seasons too. Summer turns warm and humid with thunderstorms and morning valley fog. NOAA's historical cloudiness table shows more clear days in early fall than in midwinter.
NOAA's historical cloudiness table lists about 59 clear days, 103 partly cloudy days, and 203 cloudy days per year for Pittsburgh, based on 43 years of observations. Here, clear means average daytime cloud cover of three-tenths or less, so 59 is not a count of all days with some sunshine. NOAA: Historical cloudiness table.
Local Planning Guide
Late-winter and spring river-flood season, lake-moisture snow showers from November through March, and summer thunderstorm clusters are Pittsburgh's key forecast windows.
Conditions can vary block to block because Pittsburgh's steep hills and three river valleys trap fog, channel winds, and concentrate runoff during heavy rain.
