Atlanta weather facts every pet owner should know
- Atlanta's July highs average 90.1F, right at the dangerous threshold for dog walks, and humid Georgia air makes it feel hotter still.
- Summer nights barely cool off: July lows average 71.8F, so flat-faced breeds like pugs and bulldogs need extra caution even at dawn.
- The city averages only 2.2 inches of snow a year, mostly in January, but its rare ice days shut sidewalks down fast, so keep indoor enrichment toys ready.
- Atlanta's extremes span -9F (February 13, 1899) to 106F (June 30, 2012), yet a typical January still sees mild highs of 54.0F, comfortable walking weather for most dogs.
