Louisiana’s Scorching Summer Heat Crisis | New Orleans News
Description
Louisiana’s summer heat is turning deadly—with record-breaking temperatures, over 800 heat-related deaths last year, and thousands flooding ERs. Workers like Tony Coker are forced to quit mid-task, even near LSU, as the heat becomes unbearable. Science confirms a 4.5-degree spike in New Orleans since 1970, with humidity making it feel even worse. July 4th forecasts show highs in the 90s and heat indexes soaring—especially dangerous for outdoor workers and the vulnerable. Stay safe: hydrate, seek shade, wear light clothes, and check on loved ones.
