Climate:

Spring and fall are the best times to visit Pittsburgh, when high temperatures are in the 60s and 70s. Winters are cold, with occasional snowfall and highs in the 30s and lows below freezing. Summer high temperatures are usually in the 80s, but it is not uncommon for the mercury to reach the 90s. Frequent thunderstorms are common in the height of summer, and high humidity makes the temperatures seem warmer than they are.
