Where to go in July

132 cities, one measured yardstick: average highs, rain days, rain hours and daylight from multi-year Open-Meteo records. 23 cities sit in the ideal band this month. Ranked by disclosed thresholds the skip list included.

July splits our 87 measured cities nearly down the middle. Sixteen land in the ideal comfort band and 25 in good. On the other side, 22 fall into the mixed band and 24 into difficult. The difficult band alone holds more cities than the ideal.

San Francisco leads the ranked list. Its July average high reaches 18 C, and it records 0 rain days. Seattle follows at 25 C and 1 rain day. Lisbon sits third at 29 C and 1 rain day. All three record 1 or fewer rain days in July. Rio de Janeiro, Honolulu, Barcelona, Venice, and Edmonton complete the featured eight.

Twenty-four cities in the difficult band account for more than a quarter of the 87 measured. With only 16 in ideal territory, July concentrates its most comfortable conditions into a narrow slice. The good band, at 25 cities, is the largest single tier this month.

San Francisco leads the July ranked list with an average high of 18 C and 0 rain days.
