Philadelphia weather facts every pet owner should know
- Philadelphia's July average high is 87.8F, well into the risky zone for dog walks, so summer exercise works best before 9 am.
- The city averages 23.1 inches of snow a year, peaking at 8.4 inches in February, so plan for salted sidewalks and post-walk paw rinses all winter.
- January lows average 26.0F, inside the 20 to 32F caution band, which means coats for small and senior dogs and shorter walks in deep winter.
- Philadelphia's extremes run from 106F (August 7, 1918) to -11F (February 9, 1934), one of the widest pet-comfort ranges on the East Coast.
