Austin weather facts every pet owner should know

  • Austin's average high reaches 97.8F in August, the hottest month, so dawn walks and shaded lake trails are the summer routine for dogs here.
  • August lows average 75.1F, so even pre-dawn summer walks start near the 77F caution line: bring water every single time.
  • Camp Mabry has recorded 112F (September 5, 2000, and August 28, 2011) and -2F (January 31, 1949), so Austin pets need a heat plan and at least one decent coat.
  • Austin averages just 0.2 inches of snow a year, while May brings 5.04 inches of rain, the wettest month, so storm comfort matters far more than snow gear.

Austin pet weather questions

June through August average highs run 93.2F to 97.8F, past the 90F danger threshold, so walk at dawn when temperatures are nearest the 72.9F to 75.1F summer lows. In spring and fall use the 77F caution and 82F risky rules, and always palm-test the pavement.
May is Austin's wettest month at 5.04 inches of rain, much of it from intense thunderstorms. Plan indoor enrichment for storm afternoons, keep ID tags current in case a scared pet bolts, and towel off paws after soggy trail walks.
January lows average 41.8F, under the 45F coat threshold for small and senior dogs, though highs recover to 62.5F most afternoons. Hard freezes do happen (the record is -2F on January 31, 1949), so bring pets indoors during Arctic fronts.
