Shanghai Weather in July
July and August are the hottest months in Shanghai. The highest temperature during the day may climb to 37 °C (98 °F). At night, the temperature falls a bit, but can remain sweltering at around 26 °C (79 °F). Locals often complain that they can't fall asleep without air-conditioning. July is the wettest month, and rain often falls in large quantities, but the city has rarely felt the effects of heavy rains during the past. However, the surrounding areas including Nanjing and Hangzhou have not been as fortunate. Floods may disrupt your travel plans in these areas.
Dress for the hot and humid weather and bring a pair of rain boots. The sunlight is very strong and can burn your skin, so bring sun cream and sunglasses.
July is in the peak travel season, and the summer holiday for students begins 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.
