Plano sits in a humid subtropical zone where July highs average close to 96°F and January lows drop into the mid-30s°F. Annual rainfall runs near 40 inches, with the heaviest storms in spring and fall. Summer heat pushes most walks to early morning and after sunset, since midday pavement gets hot enough to burn paws.

Corporate relocations tied to the Legacy business district, home to campuses like Toyota and JPMorgan, keep boarding and daytime walks steady year round.
