Early July mornings stay cool (15°C) but afternoons warm up fast. Wear light jackets you can take off later. Choose shoes with good grip for sudden rain on stone roads. Carry two plastic bags – one for wet clothes and one to protect your phone. Old umbrellas work better in strong winds. Drink warm tea if your clothes get damp.
Mid-July heat reaches 32°C but nights cool to 21°C. Wear long cotton pants that roll up to shorts. Buy local bamboo hats sold near city gates for better airflow. Use cooling neck towels during temple tours. Eat more watermelon juice from street vendors to stay hydrated. Avoid black clothes that show sweat marks in photos.
Late July brings heavy storms with flash floods. Wear waterproof sandals that strap tightly – lost shoes happen often. Keep ID cards in plastic sleeves. Learn to read cloud movements – dark clouds from southwest mean quick storms. Visit museums when it rains (like Rishengchang Bank) and save outdoor sites for dry mornings.
