Nashville weather facts every pet owner should know
- Nashville summers push into the danger zone: July average highs reach 90.9F and August holds at 90.4F, so from June to September dog walks belong at sunrise or well after sunset.
- Tennessee humidity amplifies that heat, and July lows only drop to 70.5F on average, meaning some summer nights never cool enough for a comfortable long walk with a thick-coated dog.
- Winter is mild by comparison, with January highs of 49.1F, so many Nashville dogs skip the heavy coat, though small breeds want a layer on 30.1F average January nights.
- The city's records run from 109F in the June 2012 heat wave down to -17F in January 1985, and it averages only 4.7 inches of snow a year, so heat, not snow, is the main planning problem.
