During
July,
Bangkok,
Thailand sees a persistence of the monsoon season with peak rainfall spreading equally throughout the month. Local living adjusts to the 175mm (6.89") of precipitation, characterizing the city's weather at this time. Despite the overcast sky and showers, the enchanting city continues to showcase its charm. The tropical climate persists, evident in the stable sea temperatures and consistent temperatures. Preparations for the tail end of the monsoon season start as
August approaches with promising weather changes.
Temperature
The introduction of July sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33.2°C (91.8°F), hardly deviating from
June. The low-temperature average for Bangkok during July stands at a warm 25.7°C (78.3°F).
Heat index
For most parts of July, the heat index is appraised at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F).
Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in July is 75%.
Rainfall
In Bangkok, in July, it is raining for 18 days, with typically 175mm (6.89") of accumulated precipitation. In Bangkok, during the entire year, the rain falls for 128 days and collects up to 1648mm (64.88") of precipitation.

UV index
February through
September, with an average maximum UV index of 12, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 11, and higher, represents an excessive health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 12 in July converts into the following recommendations:
Carry out all crucial safety measures, unprotected skin may burn instantly. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days. Prompt application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen, SPF 30+, is necessary after a swim or an outdoor workout and it should be re-applied every two hours. Note! The Sun's UV radiation gets intensified with the reflection from sand and water.
