Thailand - weather in July

In July, the climate in Thailand is hot, muggy and rainy. We are in the period of the southwest monsoon.

Temperatures are high everywhere. In the inland areas of the center-north, when it does not rain, the temperature can exceed 35 °C (95 °F), and occasionally touch 40 °C (104 °F).

Even though we are in the rainy season, there are relatively sheltered areas, and in particular the north-eastern side of peninsular Thailand (see Koh Samui, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Songkhla).
Instead, rainfall is particularly abundant, in addition to the areas at the foot of the mountains, on the coasts exposed to the southwest: on the south-western side of peninsular Thailand (see Phuket, Krabi, Phi Phi Islands), and even more so in the coastal stretch south-east of Pattaya (see Chanthaburi, Trat, Koh Chang).

In this month there is a risk of a typhoon arriving from the Pacific, although the probability will be greater in the following months. Furthermore, typhoons generally affect the continental part of Thailand, reaching it after having discharged the bulk of their energy on Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.

The sea in Thailand is always pleasantly warm for swimming. However, during the southwest monsoon period, the Andaman Sea (therefore on the south-western side of peninsular Thailand) can be rough.

The days are still among the longest of the year, however, their length gradually decreases over the course of the month. In July, the average day in Thailand is about 13 hours in the north and 12 and a half hours in the south.

The following tables show the climate averages in the month of July in Thailand in a selection of locations.
