Spokane weather facts every pet owner should know

  • Spokane averages 45.4 inches of snow a year, with December the deepest at 13.8 inches, so Inland Northwest dogs live in booties and paw balm through the holidays.
  • January highs in Spokane average only 34.5F with lows of 24.7F, meaning many midwinter walks happen entirely below freezing: coat up small and senior dogs.
  • Unlike coastal Washington, Spokane summers get genuinely hot: July highs average 84.4F and the record is 109F, set during a June heat event, so hot-day walk timing matters here.
  • Spokane's records stretch from 109F to -30F, a 139 degree spread that makes it one of the more extreme four-season pet cities on the West Coast side of the country.

Spokane pet weather questions

December and January lows average 24.3 to 24.7F, inside the 20 to 32F caution band, so keep walks moderate and watch paws for ice buildup. On arctic outbreaks Spokane can go far lower (the record is -30F), and below 20F walks should shrink to quick potty breaks.
An average winter brings 45.4 inches, with December alone delivering 13.8 inches. Plan on booties or paw balm from roughly November through March, and rinse road salt and deicer off paws after downtown walks.
Yes, in stretches: July and August highs average 84.4 and 83.8F, above the 82F risky band, and heat waves have pushed Spokane to 109F. The dry air cools nights into the mid 50s F, so early morning walks stay safe nearly all summer.
