Dog Walkers in Braeburn

If you enjoy walking your dog on a daily basis, you will find the climate in Braeburn to be hospitable to pedestrians and their pups most of the year. Summers, however, can be extremely hot and very humid. You will want to avoid walking in the middle of the day when temperatures peak. Summer often brings thunderstorms later in the day, some severe, with tornadoes even possible. Always check local forecasts for storm warnings and postpone outings until thunderstorms have passed. Winters are relatively mild, although the cooler weather may require a light jacket. Houston is subject to hurricane season, however, hurricane warnings are generally provided well in advance and many years are hurricane free.
