With mild and short winters, fabulous falls and glorious springs, you can't go wrong in Baton Rouge, whenever you choose to visit. Baton Rouge has a semi-tropical climate. The weather is consistently warm from May to September. Winter is usually mild and short-lived (generally only January and February) perfect for outdoor activities.

Spring is glorious and a light jacket is all that is needed as you tour the grounds of any plantation.Our blooming season is quite long, lasting more than seven months of the year, but spring is the most dramatic.

Fall is mild and only a light sweater is needed in the evenings. Precipitation is reasonably well-distributed and ample throughout the year with an average annual precipitation of 55 inches. Linens, lightweight cottons and lightweight sweaters are the best items to pack when visiting Baton Rouge.
