Going to the resorts of Thailand, I really want the rest to be comfortable, and nothing could spoil the summer mood. Therefore, we approach vacation planning responsibly and monitor climate changes on special sites. Let's talk about the weather in Thailand in July and whether it is worth planning your vacation in the local resorts in the middle of summer.
Immediately, we note that mid-summer falls on the peak of the wet season and is characterized by heavy rainfall. But do not despair, because the bulk of precipitation falls in the second half of the day and even at night. So this will not affect the quality of rest. Since the majority of tourists spend time on the beach in the morning, worries about rain are unfounded. But the air temperature in July on the sea coast of the country is distinguished by high rates. So even after a heavy downpour, you will not notice how the soil under your feet will completely dry out, and you will again enjoy the sunshine on the local beaches.
By the way, on July days on the coast of Thailand you can see many guests from Russia who like sunny, but not sultry weather, which is characterized by frequent changes of rain and sundial. During this period, it is not stuffy here and the risk of getting heatstroke decreases significantly. At the same time, in different regions of the country, the climate, although not very much, will still be different. This should be taken into account if you come to the coast not only to sunbathe, but also to take your free time with active forms of recreation or exciting excursions.
The southeastern part of the coast (Krabi and Phuket) is characterized by relatively high temperatures and high humidity. So, during the day, the thermometer rises to 30 degrees, and at night it drops only by 4-5 degrees. Similar temperature indicators are maintained in the resorts of Bangkok, Pattaya and Koh Samui. Although the average temperature is slightly higher here (by 2-3 degrees). The water temperature also rises to 28-29 degrees, which allows you to spend several hours daily on the seashore.
In addition, the mentioned resorts differ in the level of precipitation. Most of the rain in the second summer month falls in Phuket (over 260 mm). A little less often precipitation will disturb vacationers on the coast of Pattaya and Bangkok (180 and 150 mm, respectively). Well, the least cloudy weather remains in Koh Samui, where the average monthly precipitation does not exceed 120 mm.
But there are also some resorts that stand out from the crowd. So, in the resorts of Koh Chang in July, from 500 to 900 mm of precipitation can fall. Therefore, grab an umbrella from the house.
Almost the entire territory of the resort coast is characterized by calm weather, which is only occasionally replaced by a light sea breeze. But the showers are accompanied by strong gusts of wind, for which you need to be prepared.
In addition to spending time on the beach, tourists actively use their free time in order to attend fruit festivals, which are held precisely in the middle of summer. At this time, in the markets you can buy ripe fruits for every taste and at very affordable prices. The Candle Festival is also held in July. Anyone who happens to be in the province of Ubon Ratchathani at this time can find themselves in the thick of things. All these events are accompanied by music and dance.
By the way, the cost of vouchers to the Thai coast in July decreases several times. This is due to the fact that the hot month with high humidity is not in great demand among tourists.
This is how the weather in Thailand in July is characterized. As you can see, the specifics of the holiday requires tourists to be prepared for any climate change.
We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the Flight Time to Thailand.
