What July feels like
July is a morning-and-evening city — the middle of the day belongs to air conditioning, and the middle of the afternoon belongs to lightning, which this stretch of coast produces more of than anywhere else in the country. Fireworks over the bay on the Fourth are worth the heat.
Rain arrives about 11 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. Full tropical humidity: mornings are your friend, and shade is currency. Most afternoons push past 90°.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 89° — bath-warm.
