Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

33°F to 55°F

Dec – Feb

Generally mild with occasional ice storms that make sidewalks and trails hazardous. Most winter days are comfortable for walks along Spring Creek and near Lake Ray Hubbard. Keep paw wax on hand for icy mornings and have indoor alternatives ready for storm days.

Spring

48°F to 80°F

Mar – May

Pleasant temperatures are ideal for exploring Garland’s parks and lakeside trails. Severe thunderstorm and tornado risk is elevated, so ensure your pet is microchipped and wearing ID tags. The Spring Creek corridor is lush and green during these months.

Summer

75°F to 98°F

Jun – Aug

Intense heat with occasional triple-digit days requires strict morning and evening walk schedules. Always carry water and test pavement temperature before heading out. Lake Ray Hubbard offers slight breezes that provide some relief, but shade and hydration remain critical.

Fall

48°F to 88°F

Sep – Nov

September stays hot, but by October conditions become comfortable for regular outdoor pet activities. The lakeside and creek trails are pleasant during fall’s mild weather. Gradually resume longer walk schedules as temperatures cool through the season.
