Reno weather facts every pet owner should know
- Reno's high-desert air swings hard between day and night: July averages a 93.9F high but a 60.4F low, so a walk at 7 am can be 30 degrees kinder to paws than one at 4 pm.
- July highs averaging 93.9F sit in the 90F+ danger zone, yet the dry air tempts owners to overdo it: dogs still overheat, so carry water on every summer outing.
- Winters bring 20.9 inches of snow in an average year, spread thinly across the season, with December and January lows near 25.7F and 26.1F calling for coats on small dogs.
- Reno has recorded everything from 108F (most recently July 16, 2023) down to -17F in 1916, so layered gear for both extremes earns a spot in the closet.
