They are unsuited for very hot climates due to their thick coat. They do better in cooler climates and are okay in warm weather, not hot. There is not much you can do if you live in areas that are very hot, the dog will not be comfortable and can easily develop health problems from being in hot weather for long periods of time. They have a thick undercoat which keeps them very warm and they can overheat easily. If it is hot, it is recommended to not overexert them, give them a cool place to rest, and lots of cold water.

Samoyeds, because of their coat, size, and energies are susceptible to high heat/humidity-related health problems. Avoid situations in which the dog may become overheated. Some young dogs will foolishly overexert themselves in the heat and should be protected from this by supervision or confinement during hot weather. Make certain your Samoyed has adequate ventilation for their panting/natural cooling, a cool place to get through the hottest parts of the day, plenty of fresh water, shade and/or cover, and air conditioning/fan where necessary.
