Park prep for New Orleans weather
- Pavement check first. Getting to the park often means sidewalks: on warm days do the 7-second pavement test before you set out. Asphalt can run 40 to 60 degrees hotter than the air.
- July is New Orleans's hottest month (average high 91.4°F), which means dangerous heat for park time. Bring water for the park; shared bowls are a gamble.
- After rain, expect mud and check the live verdict above before you drive over: a storm cell can close your window fast. Post-rain zoomies are real; towel accordingly.
- Coldest stretch: January lows average 46.1°F in New Orleans. Below about 45°F, small and thin-coated dogs want a coat even for park time.
