Shanghai Weather July

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.

Along the pedestrian riverfront area of the Bund, people go to see the river, the colorful lights on the old buildings, and the old colonial architecture that date from the time that the Europeans built the area.

Shop on Nanjing Road

Nanjing Road is the most popular shopping street, and it connects to the Bund, so you can visit both in a day. You can chose between the luxury malls and shops and smaller crowds on West Nanjing Road and the many restaurants, the variety of shops, and the huge crowds walking down East Nanjing Road. East Nanjing lights up like a bright casino area after dark.

Visit Shanghai Museum

Shanghai Museum is a large museum where you can keep cool while you learn about the region's history and see fine antiques that show how art, technology and style changed over time. It is one of the best in the country, and you'll marvel at the ancient artworks.
