Several years ago I was down that way on my motorcycle over July 4th and watched the fireworks from the levee. Even moving on the highway at 70 was uncomfortably hot. I have a friend who was a postman in NO and when he retired he moved to a place with cooler weather... Nashville, TN.

Default convertible weather

I live in Albuquerque NM. I have had the t tops off the '73 and the targa off the 2000 for about a month. This morning I am driving to work with hot air balloons in the sky. Another two weeks and it will be too cold for that here.

Sounds like you need one of those systems on the sidelines at NFL games that spray ice cold air lol!
