What March feels like
March is the heart of crawfish season, and the price on the hand-lettered signs outside the corner stores is how locals track the year. Showers here come through in bands rather than settling in all day, so plan around them instead of canceling.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. Humidity stays comfortable; the air never feels heavy.
