That's a question that's impossible to answer, because, by definition, you could not run the scenario in which the atom bombs were not dropped. The American military authourities considered a possible million-death scenario to defeat Japan if the bombs wwere not to be dropped.

It had to be a sunny day because the bomb had to be dropped from a high altitude so as not to endanger the bomber, and the only way to hit the target during that era was by sighting it through an optical bomb sight. After Hiroshima, the next city to be bombed was Kokura, but it was saved by heavy cloud cover, and Nagasaki was bombed instead.
