Melbourne weather facts every pet owner should know
- Melbourne is famous for four seasons in one day: January highs average 80.6F, yet cold fronts off Bass Strait can drop temperatures 20 degrees in an afternoon, so pack for both ends of a dog walk.
- The city's record high of 116F came on February 7, 2009, during the Black Saturday heat wave, a reminder that Melbourne summers can turn from mild to dangerous for pets in a single day.
- Winter walks are brisk but safe: July highs average 56.1F with lows of 42.4F, just under the 45F line where small and senior dogs appreciate a coat.
- Snow is essentially unknown in the city itself, and the record low is 27F (July 21, 1869), so a light winter jacket covers even a Melbourne dog's coldest mornings.
