The year, day by day
The year in New Orleans Alvin Callender FL runs from a mild 43°F around January 14 to 90°F at the peak near August 1, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 19 through August 18, covering 31 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 8 to November 17.
This counts calendar dates whose 1991–2020 normal high reaches 90°F. It is a smaller number than the 90°F+ day counts in the monthly table above, which measure how often the threshold was actually crossed in a typical year. A date can average 88°F and still exceed 90°F in half of all years.
No freezing date
Not one calendar date in the 1991–2020 record carries a normal low at or below 32°F. The coldest normal low of the year is 43°F around January 14.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is July 26, when 53% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is May 2 at 24%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 125 wet dates a year.
The widest day
November 14 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 22°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where New Orleans Alvin Callender FL Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 64 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Days and nights track unusually close together; the widest normal swing, about 22°F, is narrower than most stations record.
New Orleans Alvin Callender FL earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

New Orleans Alvin Callender FL spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 33% of the annual total and December through February 21%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. New Orleans Alvin Callender FL has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry an unusually narrow 28.9°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: July averages 8.1" and October 3.6". The three wettest months together take 34% of the year, against the 25% a perfectly flat distribution would give them.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. "Spread across the year" means neither the June-August nor the December-February share reaches 35%; it describes an average year, not the variability of any single one.
When it rains in New Orleans Alvin Callender FL, it arrives in quantity
63.8" of precipitation falls across only about 125 wet days here, averaging 0.51 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 125 a year, 34% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.51 inches
- Most wet days
- July, about 16
- Fewest wet days

A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, and a per-day average is not a forecast of any individual storm.

Data-derived climate profile
How New Orleans Alvin Callender FL's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · wet · low swing
Water is prominent even though neither heating nor cooling wholly defines the record. New Orleans Alvin Callender FL averages 63.8 inches of precipitation a year. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The monthly table supplies the seasonal distribution hidden by that annual total.
New Orleans Alvin Callender FL's 28.9°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 68°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
New Orleans Alvin Callender FL combines a compact 28.9°F annual temperature range with meaningful demand on both sides of the thermostat: 1,425 heating and 2,615 cooling degree days. The balance matters more here than either annual total in isolation.
The frost-free window extends for about 291 days. That is a long calendar measure, but it is not a forecast and does not combine heat, rainfall, soil, or local elevation into a planting recommendation.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from New Orleans Alvin Callender FL's primary station, where heating and cooling demand are close enough that neither season sets the character on its own. On a balanced station like New Orleans Alvin Callender FL, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from New Orleans Alvin Callender FL's primary station: NEW ORLEANS ALVIN CALLENDER FL (USW00012958). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The conservative exact name-and-state crosswalk finds no Census place match, so PlainClimate treats this as a station-mapped location and does not claim it is a municipality. No exact Gazetteer row for New Orleans Alvin Callender FL; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
