El Paso weather facts every pet owner should know

  • June is El Paso's furnace month, averaging 97.1F highs before the summer rains arrive, so desert dog walks in early summer belong strictly to dawn and dusk.
  • The desert's saving grace is dry air and cool nights: even in June, lows average 70.6F, so pre-sunrise walks stay reasonable when afternoons are dangerous.
  • Sun-baked asphalt is the top paw hazard here, with average highs above 88F from May through September; the back-of-hand pavement test should be an El Paso habit.
  • Despite hitting a record 114F on June 30, 1994, El Paso does see winter: it averages 2.8 inches of snow a year, and January nights average 34.5F, cool enough for a sweater on a Chihuahua (fitting, since the city faces the Chihuahuan Desert).

El Paso pet weather questions

For much of the warm season: highs average 97.1F in June and stay above 88F from May through September, far beyond the 90F danger line for midday walks. Walk before sunrise or after sunset, carry water, and remember desert pavement can burn paws even after the air begins to cool.
Yes, mostly for the better: July and August highs ease to 95.8F and 94.0F as afternoon thunderstorms arrive, and post-storm evenings cool quickly. Watch for sudden downpours and flash-flood arroyos on trails, and never shelter under lone trees during lightning.
Occasionally. January lows average 34.5F, below the 45F coat threshold for small and senior dogs, and the city picks up about 2.8 inches of snow a year, usually in December. A light coat for winter mornings covers it, though rare Arctic blasts (the record is -8F) call for indoor days.
