Los Angeles weather facts every pet owner should know
- Downtown LA's average high peaks at 84.0F in August, right at the edge of risky for dog walks, so late-summer mornings beat afternoon pavement.
- Los Angeles records no measurable snow in its climate normals, and even January highs average 68.0F, so most dogs never need a winter coat here.
- LA hit 113F on September 27, 2010, a reminder that fall heat waves, not just summer ones, can make sidewalks dangerous for paws.
