Memphis weather facts every pet owner should know
- July highs in Memphis average 91.9F, and Mississippi River humidity makes it feel hotter, so summer dog walks belong at sunrise when lows average 73.6F.
- Memphis hit 108F on July 13, 1980; on extreme days like that, even a shaded evening walk can be too much for flat-faced breeds, so plan indoor play instead.
- Winters are mild by northern standards: January highs average 50.9F and snow totals just 2.7 inches a year, so most dogs walk comfortably all winter with at most a light coat.
- The muggy warm season is long here, with average highs above 82F from June through September, four full months when the 82F risky-walk threshold is the daily default.
