Weather in Zapopan in July

A good month. July is a solid month to be in Zapopan. You should expect rain on 28 days of the month, which is more days wet than dry.

July ranks 8 of 12 in Zapopan: past the worst of the year but short of January, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 28 of the month's 31 days, 6 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 32.8 °C and the coldest night fell to 13.2 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 33 mm — roughly 16% of the month's rain in one day.

July is one of the reliable ones — rainfall has stayed between 124 mm and 302 mm across all twenty years, a narrow enough band that the 205 mm average is something you can plan against rather than merely quote.

Wind is light at 4.4 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 75%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How July sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 30.2 °C in June, 26.3 here, 26 in August. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much. Rain has already shifted: 7 days more than June had.

Daylight in July

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

An inland climate

Despite being inland, the year stays fairly even: 23.7 °C between the year's warmest afternoons and coldest nights. At 1565 m, altitude is doing as much work here as latitude: thinner air means fierce sun by day and heat that leaves the moment it sets.

How busy it gets

Shoulder. The value months — prices ease off and you get the place closer to itself.

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

July in Zapopan versus nearby

If Zapopan is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Morelia is close enough to be a coin toss — 2 °C cooler, the same number of rain days. San Luis Potosí is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 11 days less rain.

So: July is a compromise. January is 32 points better and is what Zapopan is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
