Shreveport has a humid subtropical climate with long, hot summers that top 90 degrees on around 91 days a year, plus heavy rain and high humidity. Walkers head out at dawn or after sunset from June through September to keep dogs off scorching pavement, and shift to midday outings on the roughly 35 freeze days each winter.
