Tucson weather facts every pet owner should know
- June is Tucson's hottest month, averaging 101.2F highs before summer monsoon clouds take the edge off; June afternoon walks are simply off the table for dogs.
- Tucson's record high is 117F (June 27, 1990), and desert pavement runs far hotter than the air, so the hand test and booties protect paws from May through September.
- The July and August monsoon brings sudden downpours and flash floods to desert washes, so keep dogs leashed and out of arroyos when storms build in the afternoon.
- Winter is Tucson's payoff: December and January highs average 65.5F and 66.5F, arguably the best dog-walking weather in America while northern cities shovel snow.
