Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

32°F to 50°F

Dec – Feb

Mild winters with occasional nor’easters that can bring rain, sleet, or wet snow. Most days are comfortable for regular outdoor routines along Chesapeake’s waterways. The mild, humid climate supports year-round flea and tick activity, so maintain prevention treatments through winter.

Spring

42°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Warming temperatures and blooming landscapes make spring ideal for exploring the Great Dismal Swamp trails with your pet. Pollen is heavy in the Hampton Roads area, so rinse your pet’s coat after outdoor time. Mosquitoes emerge early due to the many waterways, so start repellent routines.

Summer

68°F to 88°F

Jun – Aug

Hot and humid with frequent afternoon thunderstorms. Schedule walks for early morning and seek shaded routes near the waterways. The high humidity increases the risk of heat exhaustion, so carry water and watch for heavy panting. Flea, tick, and mosquito prevention is critical this time of year.
