Edinburgh weather facts every pet owner should know
- Edinburgh's July high averages just 66.7F, among the coolest of any major European city, so summer overheating is a rare worry for local dogs (record: 88.5F).
- January lows average 35.1F, above the caution band but below the 45F coat line, so small and senior dogs wear jackets through most of the Scottish winter.
- Rain arrives on about 128.3 days a year with October the wettest month at 75.7 mm, so waterproof gear beats sunscreen in this city.
- December offers only 49.2 hours of sunshine all month versus 194.7 in May, so winter walks often happen in twilight: reflective collars and leads are smart kit.
