Hangzhou Weather in July

July is the hottest month in Hangzhou, with high temperatures and humidity. It's also typhoon season, though direct hits are rare. Tourist crowds are high due to summer holidays, but the heat can be intense.

Pack lightweight, breathable clothing, a hat, sunglasses, and strong sunscreen. An umbrella is useful for sun protection and occasional thunderstorms. Stay hydrated with a reusable water bottle.

Avoid outdoor activities during midday heat; schedule sightseeing for early morning or evening. Stay updated on typhoon warnings if traveling in coastal areas. Many locals escape to cooler mountain areas, so city attractions may be slightly less crowded on weekends.
