Salt Lake City weather facts every pet owner should know

  • Salt Lake City averages 51.9 inches of snow a year, with 12.7 inches in January, so mountain-town paw care (balm, booties, salt rinses) applies right downtown.
  • July is genuinely hot at an average high of 94.0F, dangerous territory for dog walks, though low desert humidity keeps early mornings comfortable.
  • The city swings from average January lows of 24.2F to July highs of 94.0F, a roughly 70 degree seasonal spread, so double-coated breeds blow their coats dramatically each spring.
  • Sitting above 4,200 feet against the Wasatch Range, Salt Lake City gets stronger high-altitude sun, so light-coated and pink-nosed dogs can sunburn on summer hikes.

Salt Lake City pet weather questions

Above 77F be cautious, above 82F risky, and 90F is dangerous. July highs average 94.0F here, so midsummer walks go at dawn; dry air helps mornings, but pavement still scorches by afternoon.
January averages a low of 24.2F with 12.7 inches of snow, part of a 51.9 inch annual total. Coat up small dogs below 45F, protect paws from snow and salt, and use caution once temperatures fall into the 20s.
Yes. Above 4,200 feet the sun is stronger and dry air dehydrates dogs faster, so carry water on hikes and watch light-coated dogs for sunburn. Dry 90F heat is still dangerous heat, even without humidity.
