Phuket is a stunning destination, offering a wealth of cultural and natural attractions. In July, expect hot and humid weather, so plan activities accordingly. We've looked at the most up-to-date weather data for Phuket, covering the last 12 years up to 2024, plus we've asked our team of travel bloggers for their first-hand experiences in order to answer the most frequently asked questions about Phuket weather in July.

How warm is it in Phuket during July?

The temperature is extremely stable in July with average highs of 29℃ and lows just 2℃ lower at 27℃. Of course, the high humidity will make it feel even hotter. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.

Does it rain in Phuket during July?

July is typically the wettest month in Phuket. On average, there will be 15 rainy days during the month, amounting to 429.1mm in total. That's a lot of rain. For comparison, the wettest months in the UK typically sees between 80mm and 100mm, depending on where you are. There's a good chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.

Is it windy in Phuket during July?

You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a gentle breeze that increases to moderate at times during July. The high humidity and warm temperature will make the breeze feel warm, so any cooling effect will be limted.

How warm is the sea in Phuket during July?

The water around Phuket reaches a very pleasant 30℃ during July. This is very warm, and will feel bath-like. People who normally feel the cold will find this temperature perfectly acceptable. The hot air temperature and relatively high humidity will mean that you will feel comfortably warm when coming out of the water.
