Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

42°F to 65°F

Dec – Feb

Mesa winters are mild and pleasant, perfect for hiking Usery Mountain’s pet-friendly trails. Nighttime lows in the 40s may call for a light layer on early morning walks. This is the prime season for outdoor pet activities in the East Valley.

Spring

52°F to 88°F

Mar – May

Spring starts pleasantly but heats up quickly by May. March and April are excellent for exploring desert parks and trails with your pet. As temperatures climb, begin shifting walks to early morning hours and carry water on every outing.

Summer

78°F to 108°F

Jun – Aug

Summers exceed 105°F and pavement temperatures can cause serious paw burns. Walk dogs only before dawn or after dark and always test ground temperature first. Keep outdoor water bowls in shade, as standing water heats up fast in the Arizona sun.
