Louisiana recorded its hottest November ever this year, with average temperatures soaring over eight degrees above normal, according to the National Weather Service. LSU Public Health Climatologist Barry Keim says the average temperature for November is 57 degrees..
“November 2024 was 66-degrees. So, were eight degrees above normal. That’s pretty amazing.”
Keim says cities like New Orleans and Shreveport saw multiple days in the 80s, disrupting seasonal norms.
“The coldest minimum temperature that we has all through September through November, the coldest it got here was only 44-degrees.”
Keim says Louisiana has gotten above average fronts, but the problem is they just aren’t that cold.
“What I would argue is that most of the air coming in from behind these cold front is air coming off the Pacific Ocean as opposed from air coming out of Northern Canada, the Artic or even Siberia.”
