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
June's transformation into July witnesses an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33.2°C (91.8°F), noting a minor change from the preceding month. The month of July records an average low-temperature of 25.7°C (78.3°F).
Heat index
July's heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F).
Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in July is 75%.
Rainfall
In July, the rain falls for 18 days. Throughout July, 175mm (6.89") of precipitation is accumulated. In Bangkok, during the entire year, the rain falls for 128 days and collects up to 1648mm (64.88") of precipitation.
Sea temperature

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 ultimate health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The UV index of 12 in July translates into these instructions:
Take every vital safeguard, as unprotected skin and eyes may suffer burns rapidly. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly. Regularly apply and reapply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF 30 every two hours, or straight after swimming or an outdoor activity. Be on guard! The reflective nature of sand and water boosts UV exposure.
