Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

28°F to 48°F

Dec – Feb

Winters are generally mild with occasional cold snaps and light snow. Mountain elevations can be significantly colder, so dress pets warmly for Smoky Mountain hikes. Freezing rain is more common than heavy snow in the valley.

Spring

45°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Wildflowers bloom throughout the Smokies, making spring a spectacular time for trail walks. Pollen levels can be very high, which affects some pets. Begin flea and tick prevention early as the season warms.

Summer

65°F to 90°F

Jun – Aug

Heat and humidity can be intense in the Tennessee Valley. Seek shaded trails in the Urban Wilderness and carry extra water. Higher-elevation hikes in the Smokies offer relief from the valley heat.
