Phoenix weather facts every pet owner should know
- Phoenix's average June high is 104.2F and July's is 106.5F, far past the 90F danger line, so summer dog walks are dawn-only, full stop.
- Even overnight offers little relief: July lows average 84.5F, which is already above the 82F risky threshold before the sun comes up.
- Phoenix hit 122F on June 26, 1990, and on days anywhere near that, asphalt can blister paw pads in seconds: always do the seven-second back-of-hand pavement test.
- The flip side of desert life: December through February highs average 66.2F to 70.8F, making Phoenix winters some of the best dog-walking weather in the country.
