Dallas weather facts every pet owner should know

  • Dallas averages 96.9F in July and 97.1F in August, blowing past the 90F danger line, so summer walks are a sunrise ritual here.
  • Dallas has recorded 113F (June 26 and 27, 1980, at DFW Airport) and -10F (February 12, 1899), one of the widest weather swings a Texas pet can face.
  • Winter is genuinely walkable: January averages a 57.7F high, though lows of 37.9F mean small and senior dogs want a coat below 45F.
  • Dallas averages only 1.7 inches of snow a year, mostly in February (0.9 inches), so ice storms rather than snow drifts are the paw hazard to watch.

Dallas pet weather questions

From June through August, Dallas average highs run 92.7F to 97.1F, past the 90F danger threshold, so walk at dawn and never on afternoon asphalt. July lows still average 77.7F, so even early walks call for water and shade, and the 77F caution rule applies May through September.
January lows average 37.9F, below the 45F coat threshold for small and senior dogs, and Arctic fronts have driven the area to -10F (February 12, 1899). Most winter afternoons, with highs near 57.7F, are prime walking weather.
October is Dallas's wettest month at 4.79 inches, with May close behind at 4.57 inches, and both peak seasons bring severe thunderstorms. Keep a storm-anxiety plan for your pet (interior room, white noise) and dry paws after wet walks.
