Local know-how pays off in Lafayette
Lafayette has a hot, humid subtropical climate with long summers, heavy rain, and hurricane season in Acadiana. Sitters run early-morning and evening routes to beat the heat and humidity, carry water at Girard Park, and watch storm advisories from summer into fall.
