Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

40°F to 58°F

Dec – Feb

Mild temperatures with moderate rain make winter manageable for outdoor pet routines. Mission Peak trails can be muddy after rain, so stick to paved paths on wet days. The green hillsides after winter rains are beautiful and make for scenic walks with your pet.

Spring

45°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Warming days and wildflower-covered hills create ideal conditions for hiking Mission Peak with your pet. The trails dry out and become easier to navigate. Grass pollen can trigger allergies in sensitive pets, so watch for itching or excessive sneezing.

Summer

55°F to 85°F

Jun – Aug

Warm and dry with occasional heat spikes in the inland areas. Morning fog can keep early walks cool and comfortable. Mission Peak hikes are best started very early in summer, as the exposed trail offers little shade during the hottest hours.
