You will not need jumpers or overcoats in May. The only time you may need a light cardigan or something is sometimes the aircondtioning in restaurants can feel a bit chilly-especially if it is over 90 degrees outside. So, you may want to bring something for that but that would be the only reason.

';Jumpers'; is not a term generally used in the U.S., FYI. Assuming you mean a long-sleeve pullover, you won%26#39;t need them. May is warm.

Nope, even the nights should be hot and humid (that is unless we get some weird global warming-ish weather!)

LOL- ';jumper'; makes me think of bloomers for some reason! Lorr, I assume you%26#39;re in the UK? A jumper down here means a sleeveless dress, usually worn over a blouse. Back when I was in school, the girls had uniforms and did wear jumpers in May - but minus the blouse - too hot for layers here at that time of the year!

I believe bcla is from the UK, so he/she probably interpreted the question correctly and answered accordingly.

Rodin: I am originally from the UK although I have been in the states for 27 yrs. and in Louisiana for 20 yrs. A jumper is a sweater.

I would also like to add that I love Louisiana, especially New Orleans and visit at least twice a year.

lorrHants: May here is mid springtime. We can have a few showers, usually when you least expect them, but it would be a rare occasion for the weather to be cool enough for a sweater.

I would however say, as one of the posters pointed out, we have an air conditioned situation at times wherein some might feel more comfortable wearing a sweater while dining. You would, as you might imagine, want to remove it after leaving the restaurant, as the weather outside would be a lot warmer, and humid.

So, you might want to bring a light jumper as you say, that is if you tend to get uncomfortable in an air conditioned environment while dining.

Best I can do, and hope your visit is pleasant.

hi,thanks for all your replys we seem to have been wearing jumpers [sorry sweater!! lol] forever over here,the weather has been that bad,cant wait to feel the sun on our faces!!! thanks again lorr

No - May is warm especially from Mid May on...I would however bring rain gear - either a waterproof rain jacket or umbrella. Rain is a common occurrence.
