Birmingham weather facts every pet owner should know
- July afternoons in Birmingham average 91.0F, past the 90F danger line for dogs, so summer walks belong in the early morning near the 72.1F average low.
- Birmingham has seen both 107F (July 29, 1930) and -10F (February 13, 1899), a 117-degree spread, though a typical year stays far gentler at both ends.
- Snow averages just 1.4 inches a year, so ice is an occasional novelty rather than a season, and paw booties here mostly guard against hot summer pavement.
- January highs average 54.5F, which makes Birmingham winters a comfortable, coat-optional walking season for most dogs.
