What is the weather like in early august in new orleans?|144483

My friend and I are planning a trip and we thought early August would work for us. Anyone know what the weather is like in early August in New Orleans?

When you walk out the door, it feels like someone enveloped you in a big hot, wet blanket. You can expect rain at any time, but you can be sure it will be hot and humid all the time. Bring appropriate clothes, and plan your activities around air conditioning.

August is one of the hottest months in New Orleans. If you are determined to come to N.O. during August, be sure pack correctly. The weather is HOT....all month long. All day long, all night long. If you are not accustomed to a humid climate, you will sweat profusely due to the humidity. Pack light clothing. Cottons, light colors, shorts, etc. It is NOT cool in the mornings or evenings in South Louisiana in August. Perhaps *cooler* than the days. Early morning temps are often in the 80s at daylight, with high humidity. Daytime temps can reach upper 90s and triple digits occasionally. Actually, we are expecting a high of 90 degrees in just a couple days, and it_s only early May. Air conditioning is our bliss!

In the morning its... hot
In the afternoon its... hot
And then in the evening its... hot

Only variety is sometimes the humidity level is at 100% and sometimes its only 90%

Lots of rain showers too (almost every afternoon it_ll rain for an hour or so.)

The other answers are correct and August is hot and humid. That is why summer is _off season_ for tourism and hotel prices are lower.

Blue Ball Blazing Hot and Humid!!! And it_s the peak time for hurricanes to churn up in the Gulf, so folks in New Orleans get pretty antsy in August.

It is cool in the morning before 10 am after that the temp. may reach from 80 to 90. In the evening the temp. may go down to 60.

hot and muggy. but we do have a great big lake to swim and play in so i dont think anyone here minds...

1 word: HUMID!!
