Wichita weather facts every pet owner should know
- Wichita's record heat is extreme: 114F in August 1936, and a typical July afternoon still averages 92.6F, well into the dangerous zone for dog walks.
- January lows average 22.5F, inside the caution band for cold walks, so short-haired dogs need coats and shortened outings in midwinter.
- Wichita averages just 12.7 inches of snow per year, with February the snowiest at 3.6 inches, so deep snow rarely blocks the daily walk for long.
- Wichita swings roughly 70 degrees between average January lows of 22.5F and July highs of 92.6F, so a Wichita dog needs both a winter coat routine and a summer heat plan.
