Montreal weather facts every pet owner should know
- Montreal is one of the snowiest major cities in the world, averaging about 85.3 inches a year, with January alone delivering roughly 20.5 inches: booties and salt-safe paw care are winter essentials.
- January highs average just 23F and overnight lows sink to 7.7F, well below the 20F danger line, so deep-winter dog walks should be short, brisk, and coat-equipped.
- Summers swing the other way: July highs average 80.1F with humidity off the St. Lawrence River, and the record high of 100F was set on August 1, 1975, so hot-weather walk timing matters here too.
- Montreal is an island city in the St. Lawrence River, and its riverside parks are breezy in summer but brutally wind-chilled in winter, when the wind can make 7.7F nights feel far colder on exposed paths.
