Weather in Sherbrooke in July

A good month. July works. It is not the peak, but nothing about it fights you. You should expect rain on 21 days of the month, which is more days wet than dry.

July ranks 4 of 12 in Sherbrooke: past the worst of the year but short of September, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 21 of the month's 31 days, 3 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. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

What the averages hide

The averages here are honest — no hidden extremes worth planning around. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest July day reached 31.2 °C and the coldest night fell to 7 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 36 mm — roughly 31% of the month's rain in one day.

July is one of the reliable ones — rainfall has stayed between 84 mm and 168 mm across all twenty years, a narrow enough band that the 117 mm average is something you can plan against rather than merely quote.

Wind is light at 0.3 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 83%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How July sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 22 °C in June, 24.5 here, 23.7 in August. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in July

July is at or near the longest days of Sherbrooke's year: 15.4 hours of daylight, losing 0.8 hours across the month. Evenings are the real gain — dinner outdoors still happens in full light.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 39.7 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead.

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

July in Sherbrooke versus nearby

If Sherbrooke is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Montréal is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 4 days less rain. Québec is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 2 days less rain.

So: July works, with September the better month by 8 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
