Pittsburgh weather facts every pet owner should know
- Pittsburgh averages 44.1 inches of snow a year, with 13.3 inches in January alone, so booties or paw balm earn their keep all winter.
- January highs average only 36.3F with lows of 21.4F, so most midwinter days call for coats on small, senior or short-haired dogs.
- Summers are relatively gentle: July highs average 82.9F, right at the edge of the risky zone, so most mornings and evenings stay walk-friendly.
- Pittsburgh's three rivers and steep hills mean plenty of shaded riverfront trails, a real asset when heat waves push toward the city's 103F record.
