Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

18°F to 33°F

Dec – Feb

Cold and cloudy with regular snowfall and occasional ice storms from Great Lakes moisture. Keep pets dry and warm after walks, and rinse paws to remove road salt. Cloudy skies and early darkness mean reflective gear is important even for late-afternoon walks.

Spring

32°F to 65°F

Mar – May

Muddy conditions from snowmelt give way to pleasant walking weather by late April. The revitalized riverfront trails are excellent for spring outings with your pet. Thunderstorm risk increases, so watch the forecast and have indoor activities planned for stormy days.

Summer

62°F to 85°F

Jun – Aug

Warm and humid with frequent afternoon thunderstorms that can startle noise-sensitive pets. Schedule walks for morning or evening and carry water on every outing. Franke Park and the riverfront offer shaded areas that help keep outdoor time comfortable.

Fall

35°F to 68°F
