Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

22°F to 38°F

Dec – Feb

Cold temperatures and regular snowfall require winter gear for pets, especially small and short-haired breeds. Sidewalk salt irritates paws, so rinse feet after every walk or use protective booties. Keep walks shorter on the coldest days and watch for antifreeze spills, which are toxic but attractive to pets.

Spring

38°F to 68°F

Mar – May

Cherry blossom season in Branch Brook Park is a spectacular backdrop for walks with your pet. Temperatures warm gradually, making this an ideal time for longer outings and socialization. Mud and puddles are common from snowmelt and spring rain, so plan for post-walk cleanups.

Summer

65°F to 87°F

Jun – Aug

Hot and humid conditions require scheduling walks for early morning or after sunset. Urban heat island effects can make pavement dangerously hot, so check ground temperature before heading out. Carry water for your pet and seek shaded paths in parks whenever possible.
