San Jose weather facts every pet owner should know
- San Jose's warmest month, August, averages just 81.4F for a high, so pavement stays paw safe most of the year, though the city's record of 109F (set in September) is a reminder that heat waves still demand dawn walks.
- Even in December, overnight lows in San Jose average 41.7F, so most healthy dogs never need a winter coat here, with small and senior pups the exception on rare cold snaps.
- NOAA normals list zero average annual snowfall for San Jose, so booties in this city are for hot summer pavement, not ice or road salt.
- San Jose sits in the Santa Clara Valley with a Mediterranean climate of dry summers and mild, wetter winters, which makes it one of the most reliable year-round dog-walking cities in the country.
