Toronto weather facts every pet owner should know
- Toronto's July afternoons average 80.6F, already past the 77F cautious walking band, so summer dog walks are safest in the early morning or after sunset.
- The city averages about 47.8 inches of snow a year, and January alone brings roughly 14.6 inches, so short-coated dogs need a winter jacket and a post-walk paw wipe to clear road salt.
- Sitting on the shore of Lake Ontario, Toronto gets milder winters than most of inland Canada: January highs average 31.5F, but wind off the lake can make waterfront walks feel far colder.
- Toronto's all-time record high of 105F dates to July 1936, and summer humidex readings still climb into the mid 40s C, so flat-faced breeds like pugs and bulldogs should skip midday outings in a heat wave.
