New Orleans Weather - The weather in New Orleans is often hot and muggy. That’s it in a nutshell so when you are packing be careful to include a lot of lightweight clothing. In the months of June to September maximum average temperatures can be around 87 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit but with relative humidity over 80%. It tends to be cooler in other months of the year but humidity can still be quite high.

So pack a lot of cotton light-colored clothing so that you are not too hot while you are sight-seeing. If you love the Warm Weather you will be in heaven. Plenty of sunshine all year round so you can visit at any time and enjoy all the attractions. Bring lots of shorts and tops, some slacks for the evenings and of course a couple pairs of comfortable walking shoes.

Very rarely will it get cold, but it may get a little cool. So do bring along a jacket just in case. The worst thing is to not be prepared and be too cold and to have to end your day or night too quickly, so make sure you pack a couple jackets and carry one with you during the fall and winter months. You’ll be glad you did.
