Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

35°F to 58°F

Dec – Feb

Mild winters with occasional freezing rain and rare ice storms. Pets generally do well outdoors, though short-haired breeds may need a light jacket on the coldest mornings. Great season for long trail walks at Dana Peak Park.

Spring

52°F to 78°F

Mar – May

Wildflowers bloom across Central Texas and temperatures are ideal for outdoor time. Severe thunderstorms and occasional tornado watches require a pet safety plan. Tick and flea prevention should begin early.

Summer

72°F to 98°F

Jun – Aug

Intense heat with little shade on many trails. Walk pets only before 8 AM or after 8 PM and always carry water. Hot pavement can burn paw pads quickly. Lake access provides some relief from the heat.

Fall

50°F to 82°F

Sep – Nov

Temperatures gradually cool and outdoor activities become enjoyable again. Early fall can still be quite warm, but by November conditions are perfect for hiking and park visits with your pet.
