Calgary weather facts every pet owner should know
- Chinook winds can thaw Calgary in hours: the February record high is 72.7F even though February lows average 10.8F, so a dog outfitted for deep cold in the morning may be panting by afternoon.
- Calgary averages 54.6 inches of snow a year and has recorded measurable snow in every month except July and August, with March the snowiest month at about 9.4 inches.
- At roughly 1,084 m elevation, Calgary keeps its summer nights cool: even July lows average 50.4F, so early morning walks are comfortable all summer long.
- The city's record low of -49F was set on February 4, 1893, and modern January nights still average 7.7F, firmly in the danger zone where walks should be short and coats mandatory.
