Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

48°F to 65°F

Dec – Feb

Mild coastal winters are ideal for beach walks and outdoor play. Occasional cold fronts called "northers" can drop temperatures rapidly by 20–30 degrees, so have a pet sweater handy. The cooler, drier air makes this the most comfortable season for extended outdoor activity with your pet.

Spring

60°F to 82°F

Mar – May

Warming temperatures and Gulf breezes create pleasant conditions, though humidity starts building. Fleas and ticks become active early in this coastal climate, so ensure your pet is on preventatives. Padre Island beaches are wonderful for morning walks before the afternoon heat settles in.

Summer

78°F to 95°F

Jun – Aug

Intense heat and humidity make outdoor time risky for pets during midday hours. Walk only at dawn or dusk, and provide constant access to fresh water and shade. This is peak hurricane season, so keep your pet’s evacuation kit ready with food, medications, and carrier.
