During
July,
Bangkok,
Thailand sees a persistence of the monsoon season with peak rainfall spreading equally throughout the month. Local living adjusts to the 175mm (6.89") of precipitation, characterizing the city's weather at this time. Despite the overcast sky and showers, the enchanting city continues to showcase its charm. The tropical climate persists, evident in the stable sea temperatures and consistent temperatures. Preparations for the tail end of the monsoon season start as
August approaches with promising weather changes.
Temperature
As Bangkok welcomes July, the average high-temperature stabilizes at a still hot 33.2°C (91.8°F), showing little deviation from
June's 33.6°C (92.5°F). During the month of July, an average low-temperature of 25.7°C (78.3°F) is recorded.
Heat index
July's average heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F).
Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in July in Bangkok, Thailand, is 75%.

UV index
February through
September, with an average maximum UV index of 12, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 11, and more, symbolizes an ultimate health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In July, a daily maximum UV index of 12 leads to the following instructions:
Put into action all important safeguards, unprotected skin may burn swiftly. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage. Sunscreen with a sun protection factor of no less than 30 should be used liberally and reapplied frequently on overcast days, including after every swim or outdoor activity. Caution! Sand and water surfaces escalate the UV intensity from the Sun.
