July is one of the hottest months of the year in Bermuda. The summer season is well underway and all cruise ships are now making regular visits to the island. The average daily high temperature is 30°C (86°F). The average daily low is 25°C (77°F).
The water temperature is now around 27°C (81°F) and is great for swimming and snorkelling. Divers will feel comfortable in a shorty.
Relative humidity is fairly high year round, but July is one of the most humid months in Bermuda.
The combination of high temperatures and humidity can lead to severe hydration, sunburn, and sunstroke if precautions aren’t taken. Wear plenty of sunscreen, drink lots of water, and cover up. If you are affected, spend a day or two away from the beach and visit some of the island’s excellent tourist attractions.
July is also the sunniest month in Bermuda, with an average of nine hours of sunshine each day. Sunrise is around 6.25 am and sunset at about 8.25 pm.
Events in July include Harbour Nights, Cup Match, and the Bermuda Triple Crown Billfish Championship. Bermuda’s sizeable population of Canadian expats celebrate Canada Day on the beach.
The month falls in Bermuda’s official hurricane season, though a major hurricane only affects the island every seven years or so. They are far more likely to hit in September or October.
Sir George Somers and the first British colonists arrived in Bermuda in July 1609.
