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.
