What July feels like
July storms can drop enough water in an hour to flood an intersection you walked across that morning. The Essence Festival fills the Superdome over the Fourth, and locals move between air-conditioned rooms like they are fording a river.
Rain arrives about 10 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. Full tropical humidity: mornings are your friend, and shade is currency. Most afternoons push past 90°.
