New Orleans weather is largely influenced by the Gulf of Mexico. High temperatures year round are mild, averaging from the 60’s in the winter to the near 90 during the summer.
With the city lying partially below sea level, hurricanes are the biggest threat to New Orleans. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused major flooding without even making a direct hit.
