Weather in Haiphong in July

A hard month. July is a hard month in Haiphong, and worth planning around. You should expect rain on 24 days of the month, which is more days wet than dry.

July ranks 12 of 12 — near the bottom of Haiphong's year. December is the month that works, and the swing between the two is 50 points, which is a different holiday rather than a slightly better one.

Rain on 24 of the month's 31 days, 10 of them heavy. At that frequency a wet-weather backup is not a contingency, it is the itinerary — book the indoor things first and treat the clear days as the bonus. Natural fibres and a second shirt for the day. At 86% nothing dries, including you.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 24 days top 30 °C, making the heat continuous rather than occasional; the day barely swings — 4.2 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest July day reached 36.4 °C and the coldest night fell to 24.3 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 112 mm — roughly 37% of the month's rain in one day.

July is statistically steady but not small: the year-to-year variation is modest in relative terms, yet the wettest July on record still delivered 542 mm against 87 mm in the driest. In a month this wet, even a tame spread is a lot of rain in absolute terms — the 302 mm average is a reasonable planning figure, not a promise.

Wind is light at 8.2 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity at 86% is the real story though — it is the number that decides how the day feels, not the 31.2 °C.

How July sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 31.2 °C in June, 31.2 here, 31 in August. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in July

July is at or near the longest days of Haiphong's year: 13.3 hours of daylight, holding steady all month. Evenings are the real gain — dinner outdoors still happens in full light.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 29.8 °C in July — warm enough that the water offers no relief from the heat. This is the warmest the water gets all year.

How busy it gets

Off season. The genuine off season: cheapest by a distance, with the caveat that some tours and restaurants close entirely.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

July in Haiphong versus nearby

If Haiphong is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Hanoi is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day less rain. Thanh Hóa is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 4 days less rain.

So: July is a compromise. December is 50 points better and is what Haiphong is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
