Houston weather facts every pet owner should know
- Houston's average highs run 91.0F to 93.5F from June through August, past the 90F danger line for dog walks, so summer exercise belongs at dawn.
- Nights barely cool off in a Houston summer: July and August lows average 76.6F and 76.7F, so humid evenings often stay in the caution zone and indoor play beats evening fetch.
- Houston's climate normals show no measurable annual snowfall, yet the city has dropped to 5F (January 18, 1930), so keep one dog coat on hand for rare Arctic blasts.
- With June averaging 6.09 inches of rain and most months topping 4 inches, Houston dogs need a towel routine and paw checks after soggy walks.
