This live stream shows the city of Rochester in upstate New York, a short distance from the southern shore of Lake Ontario. It is a useful way to check how the city looks right now before you travel or to follow changing conditions on the lakefront.

About Rochester

Rochester sits on the Genesee River where it drops toward Lake Ontario, and it grew up around milling and manufacturing in the nineteenth century. Today it is known for its universities, its parks and its long history in photography and optics. The surrounding land is gently rolling, with orchards and farmland spreading out to the south and the lake shaping the weather to the north.

What to watch on the stream

The view is most informative during daylight, when you can judge cloud cover, haze and whether the lake is calm or stormy. Lake-effect snow in winter and summer thunderstorms are the conditions people most often come to check. Early morning and late afternoon usually give the clearest light, though the actual view depends on the camera's position and the weather of the day.

Climate and getting around

Rochester has warm, humid summers and cold winters with a good amount of snow, so late spring through early autumn is the most comfortable time to visit. The city is easy to reach by air and road, and the nearby Pinnacle Hill and Charlotte Genesee Lighthouse cameras give you extra views of the lakeside area around it.
