Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

40°F to 65°F

Dec – Feb

Mild days and cool nights make winter one of the most comfortable seasons for outdoor pet activities. Occasional frost on early mornings means short-haired breeds may need a light jacket for dawn walks. This is the rainy season, with most of Riverside’s limited annual rainfall concentrated in these months.

Spring

48°F to 80°F

Mar – May

Pleasant warming temperatures bring ideal conditions for exploring Mount Rubidoux and local parks with your pet. Wildflowers bloom across the hillsides after rainy winters. Start transitioning walk times earlier as temperatures begin to climb in May.

Summer

62°F to 95°F

Jun – Aug

Inland heat builds significantly, with temperatures regularly exceeding 93°F. Walk pets only before 8 AM or after sunset, and test pavement temperature before every outing. Ensure pets have constant access to shade and fresh water, and never leave animals in parked vehicles.
