Shanghai Weather in July

Shanghai July Scenery

Weather: July is one of the hottest months in Shanghai. The temperature during the day may climb to 37 °C (98 °F). At night, the temperature can remain at around 26 °C (79 °F).

July is also the wettest month, but the city has rarely felt severe effects of heavy rains in the past. However, the surrounding areas, including Nanjing and Hangzhou, have not been as fortunate. Floods may disrupt your travel plans in these areas.

Clothing: Dress for hot and humid weather, and bring a pair of gumboots. Sunlight is very strong and can burn your skin, so bring sun cream and sunglasses.

Be aware: July is the peak travel season, and summer holidays for students begin this month. As usual, the city and its tourist attractions are very crowded. Hotels usually raise their prices, train tickets are sold out days before departure, and discounts on flights are impossible to obtain.
