Let’s face it--the phrase “We enjoy four full seasons” is often a euphemism for “Br-r-r-r, it is cold and snowy in the winter here.” THAT IS NOT THE CASE IN LOUISIANA! And, if one wants to see snow or ski, New Mexico and Colorado aren't that far away!  

Though we may not have four full seasons in Louisiana, we certainly have 3 of them. Yes, our summers are as you have heard - hot and humid with occasional (in Louisiana that can mean every other day) rain and thunder storms. But the wonderful thing is we have long and cool springs with everything in bloom and green (all those occasional rains), and often early and crisp falls. Although we do have a winter, it is relatively short and mild - a time or two near or at freezing, and about once every 5 or 6 years a snowflake or two actually falls!  

It has been said that LOUISIANA HAS THE PERFECT CLIMATE FOR YEAR-ROUND FUN! This is a very good thing in a state where most folks think of fun as a "natural resource"! Or maybe, it is the reason? In the Baton Rouge area we are blessed with a climate that is warm enough to enjoy the great outdoors almost year round. This has a lot to do with why there are over 500 fairs and festivals hosted in Louisiana year round and the state's nickname - "Sportsman's Paradise". 

In a nutshell, if you're coming for a visit bring shorts in the summer, spring and fall, a light jacket in winter, and an umbrella all year round -just in case! If you are moving here, there will be lots of shorts and umbrellas in the stores year round, but the jacket selections are a mite slim, except for a few months out of the year, so you might need to pick one up from where ever you're moving from. (Just a bit of humor Newcomers, as everyone thinks we never use jackets here!)
