We are now in October and everyone in Louisiana has been patiently waiting for the weather to change. We have one hot Summer and it seems the temperatures still want to stick around.

Please don't get us wrong, we have seen a couple of cool fronts come through dropping the temperatures down into the 60s and the humidity too. If you are from or have lived in Louisiana for a while, you know that high humidity and hot temperatures are a staple in the state but as the calendar rolls over to October, we look forward and hope for a change in the weather.
