Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

38°F to 55°F

Dec – Feb

Dense tule fog is the defining hazard of Stockton winters, reducing visibility to near zero on some mornings. Use reflective collars and leashes for any walk in low-visibility conditions, and stick to well-lit, familiar routes. Temperatures are mild but damp, so dry your pet after walks to prevent skin irritation.

Spring

48°F to 78°F

Mar – May

Fog lifts and the Delta region greens up, creating pleasant conditions for outdoor time. Foxtail grass begins to emerge and can embed in paws, ears, and noses, so check your pet thoroughly after walks in grassy areas. Temperatures climb steadily, so start adjusting walk times earlier in the morning.

Summer

60°F to 98°F

Jun – Aug

Extreme heat regularly exceeds 95°F and pavement temperatures can be dangerous. Walk pets only before 8 AM or after 8 PM, and never leave them in vehicles even briefly. Provide multiple water sources and shade for any outdoor time, and watch for signs of heat stroke such as heavy panting and lethargy.
