Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

10°F to 30°F

Dec – Feb

Harsh Iowa winters with heavy snow and subzero wind chills require warm coats for pets and limited outdoor exposure. Salt on sidewalks can irritate paws, so rinse feet after walks. Keep fresh water from freezing outdoors.

Spring

35°F to 65°F

Mar – May

Rapid temperature swings are common as winter transitions to spring. Severe thunderstorms begin in April, so have a pet safety plan. The trail system dries out by mid-April and becomes ideal for walks.

Summer

65°F to 88°F

Jun – Aug

Heat and humidity make midday walks uncomfortable. Stick to shaded river trails during morning hours and carry water. Severe thunderstorms with damaging winds can develop quickly in summer afternoons.

Fall

38°F to 68°F

Sep – Nov
