London weather facts every pet owner should know

  • London's all-time record high of 104.4F was set at Heathrow on July 19, 2022, but the average July high is only 75.0F, so most summer walks are comfortably safe.
  • Even in January the average high is 47.1F and the low 36.9F, mild enough that most dogs only need a light coat, though small and senior dogs appreciate one below 45F.
  • London averages about 111.7 days a year with at least 1 mm of rain, so a door-side towel and a wet-paw drying routine are year-round staples for dog owners.
  • London's maritime climate rarely stays hot after dark: even July nights cool to an average 57.6F, giving warm pups a reliable evening walk window.

London pet weather questions

Most of the year London is safe, since even July averages a 75.0F high. Be cautious above 77F and skip midday walks above 82F. London has reached 104.4F (July 2022), so during rare heatwave alerts stick to dawn and late evening.
Small, senior, and thin-coated dogs benefit from a coat below 45F, and London's average January low is 36.9F, so plan on one for early walks most of the winter. Cold snaps can be far sharper, with a December record low of 0.7F.
London sees roughly 111.7 rainy days a year, with November the wettest month at about 66.6 mm. A quick-dry coat for short-haired dogs and thorough paw and belly towel-downs prevent chills and skin irritation on damp days.
