Go in Apr, May or Sep — these months score within a whisker of each other; 25C max, 7 rainy days. Mar is the next best.

Public holidays at Stockholm move this destination's year too little to make it a different answer, so the New Orleans page is the one of record. This one is kept for the distance and the flight it implies.

Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in SE as well as at New Orleans, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest in January and February; quietest in July.

The year in New Orleans

New Orleans can be very humid during the summer months, leading to discomfort. It's recommended to stay hydrated and plan outdoor activities during the cooler parts of the day.

Busiest
mid Feb to late Mar — This period includes Mardi Gras, attracting a large number of tourists.
Quieter, still good
early Apr to late May — This is a pleasant time to visit with fewer crowds and moderate prices.
early Oct to late Dec — The weather is cooler and more enjoyable, plus holiday events begin.
Wet or stormy
early Jun to late Nov — hurricane, moderate
Worth timing for
Mardi Gras, February or March (movable) — Significantly increases prices and demand for accommodations.
Watch out for hurricane season; extreme heat

Written by a language model from the climate figures above. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe.
