Sydney weather facts every pet owner should know
- Sydney's January highs average 80.6F, already in the cautious band above 77F, and coastal humidity means beach-adjacent morning walks beat baking afternoon pavement.
- The record high of 114F at Observatory Hill, set January 18, 2013, shows how fierce heat waves can get: on extreme days even the harbour breeze cannot make pavement paw-safe.
- Winters are a dog's dream: July highs average 64.2F with lows of 48F, so midday winter walks need no coat for most breeds and the 45F coat threshold is rarely crossed.
- June is Sydney's wettest month, averaging 142 mm of rain as east coast lows roll in, so keep a towel by the door and a backup indoor game plan for autumn and early winter.
