Colorado Springs weather facts every pet owner should know

  • At 6,035 feet above sea level, Colorado Springs has thin air and intense UV, so light-coated and pink-nosed dogs can sunburn even on a mild 70F day.
  • The city averages 32.5 inches of snow a year, and March is the snowiest month at 5.7 inches, so late-season storms can bury spring walk plans.
  • Summer stays relatively kind: July highs average 86.5F, though the record 101F (June 26, 2012) proves the 90F danger zone is possible, and July brings frequent afternoon monsoon thunderstorms.
  • Big daily swings are the norm: even in July, mornings start near an average low of 58.2F, giving dogs a comfortable walk window almost every summer day.

Colorado Springs pet weather questions

June through August afternoons, when average highs run 81.6F to 86.5F, regularly cross the 82F risky line, and high-altitude sun makes it feel hotter. Mornings are the fix: July lows average a cool 58.2F.
January lows average 18.5F, below the 20F dangerous threshold, so small and short-coated dogs need coats, short outings, and paw protection. The city has dipped as low as -27F, so always check the forecast before long winter hikes.
Yes. At 6,035 feet, oxygen is thinner, so visiting dogs and flat-faced breeds tire faster even in the comfortable 70.7F average highs of May. Build up distance gradually and carry water on every trail outing.
