Madrid weather facts every pet owner should know

  • Madrid's average July high is 91.0F, above the 90F danger line for dog walks, so midsummer exercise belongs at dawn or after dark, full stop.
  • The city record of 105.3F has been reached in June, July, and August, and July brings 355 hours of sunshine, so shaded routes and the seven-second pavement test are summer musts.
  • July humidity averages just 39 percent with only about 1.5 rainy days, classic dry heat: pack water for the dog on every warm-season walk at 667 m elevation.
  • Winter is prime walking season: January averages a 50.0F high and 37.4F low, comfortable for most dogs with a light coat for small or senior pups.

Madrid pet weather questions

From late June through August, average highs run 89F to 91F, at or above the 90F danger threshold, so walk at dawn or well after sunset and skip midday entirely. Madrid has hit 105.3F, and sun-baked pavement can burn paws long after the air cools.
January lows average 37.4F, below the 45F coat threshold for small, senior, and thin-coated dogs, though daytime highs near 50.0F are ideal for long walks. The record low of 13.8F shows cold snaps happen, so keep a coat in the closet.
October is the wettest month at about 64 mm, while July and August see barely 9 to 10 mm combined with 1.5 rainy days or fewer each. Autumn and spring showers pass quickly, so rain rarely cancels more than a day of walks.
