Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

28°F to 45°F

Dec – Feb

DC winters bring cold temperatures with occasional snowstorms that can shut down the city. Protect your pet’s paws from road salt on treated sidewalks. Rock Creek Park offers sheltered trails that stay navigable even in snowy conditions.

Spring

40°F to 70°F

Mar – May

Cherry blossom season in late March and April is beautiful for walks, but the Mall and Tidal Basin area get very crowded. Stick to quieter trails in Rock Creek Park or along the C&O Canal with your pet. Warming temperatures make this an increasingly pleasant season for outdoor activities.

Summer

68°F to 90°F

Jun – Aug

Hot, humid summers with heat indexes exceeding 100°F demand shade and hydration on every outing. Seek shaded trails along Rock Creek Park and carry water for your pet. Plan walks for early morning or evening to avoid the worst of the heat.

Fall

45°F to 72°F
