About New Orleans Weather
New Orleans below sea level in the Mississippi Delta has one of America's most extreme weather environments. The city is surrounded by water — the Mississippi River, Lake Pontchartrain, and the Gulf of Mexico — creating persistent intense humidity. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 catastrophically flooded 80% of the city, reshaping the climate risk consciousness of everyone here.
