🌡 The weather here, in general

Lafayette has four clear seasons. July highs average 90°F and January lows average 44°F.

Expect around 48 days a year at 90°F or above, concentrated in July. Heat illness climbs sharply on consecutive hot days, so the third day of a streak is more dangerous than the first.

It is a wet place: about 64 inches of precipitation a year, peaking in August. Drainage and flash flooding deserve more attention here than in most of the country.
