About Lafayette Weather
Lafayette is the heart of Cajun Country in south-central Louisiana. The city sits in the Atchafalaya Basin lowlands with extreme humidity from surrounding bayous and marshes. Summers are oppressively hot and wet while the city is in the primary path for Gulf hurricanes. Crawfish farming in surrounding flooded fields contributes additional moisture to the atmosphere.
