July is one of the hottest months in Chongqing, with high humidity making it feel like a sauna. It's the low season for tourism due to the heat, but you can find deals on hotels. Outdoor activities are best limited to early morning or evening.
Light, breathable clothing, a hat, sunglasses, and strong sunscreen. A portable fan and cooling towel can help. Bring an umbrella for occasional thunderstorms.
Avoid outdoor activities from 11am to 4pm when the sun is strongest. Stay hydrated and use air-conditioned transport. Many locals escape to cooler mountain areas, so consider a side trip to Jinfo Mountain.
