Milwaukee weather facts every pet owner should know
- Milwaukee averages 48.7 inches of snow a year, with about 14.9 inches in January alone, so booties, paw balm, and a good coat are core equipment for city dogs.
- January lows average 17.2F, below the 20F dangerous threshold, meaning midwinter potty breaks should be quick and small dogs should be layered up.
- Summers by Lake Michigan are comparatively kind: July highs average 81.9F, just past the cautious threshold, and the lake breeze keeps shoreline walks cooler than inland routes.
- Milwaukee has still hit 105F (July 24, 1934), so even in this cold-winter city, a hot-day plan of dawn walks and pavement checks belongs in every owner's toolkit.
