Weather in July
July sits at the heart of
Louisiana's summer season, characterized by its sweltering heat and pronounced humidity. The southern parts of the state, encompassing coastal cities such as Lafayette, generally experience daytime highs hovering between 91°F (32.8°C) and 95°F (35°C). On the other hand, the northern regions, which include places like Monroe, witness temperatures typically ranging from 87°F (30.6°C) to 91°F (32.8°C).
Nighttime doesn't bring much respite from the warmth. In the southern stretches, temperatures during the night remain between 72°F (22.2°C) and 76°F (24.4°C). The northern areas, while somewhat cooler, still endure warm nights, with lows ranging from 68°F (20°C) to 72°F (22.2°C).
Rainfall in July remains consistent, with frequent afternoon thunderstorms that deliver powerful, albeit brief, tropical downpours. These intense showers often cause localized flooding, especially in low-lying regions. However, the overall monthly precipitation doesn't typically reach the heights seen in
April or
May.
When compared to
June, July maintains similar temperature and humidity levels, with only slight variances. The persistent high humidity combined with soaring temperatures can make the real-feel temperature seem even hotter, sometimes nearing a stifling 120°F (48.9°C). As July progresses, so does the potential for tropical cyclones and hurricanes, given that the state is deep within its hurricane season. This makes it crucial for both residents and visitors to remain vigilant and updated on weather forecasts and potential storm threats.
