Where to stay: Hammamet for less intense heat

Hammamet is the coolest of these coastal options, with average daytime temperatures of 31°C. That is still hot, but it makes more sense for heat-sensitive travellers than Sousse, where days average 35°C. Port El Kantaoui sits between them at 34°C, so it offers little relief from the stronger heat. Sousse suits travellers who actively want hot weather; its share of July days above 25°C is 100%. There is no temperature advantage after dark or in the water: all these destinations average 22°C at night and 25°C in the sea. Choose mainly by how much daytime heat you find comfortable.

What to expect from a July day

Plan your day around the heat rather than expecting to keep moving comfortably from morning until evening. With 12.9 hours of sunshine on average, July gives you plenty of daylight for time outdoors, but shade breaks around midday are a sensible part of the plan. The country average is 0 rainy days, so rain is unlikely to shape your holiday, though that is not a guarantee of completely dry weather. Pack light, breathable clothing, sun protection and a hat, and keep water handy. Nights averaging 22°C mean evenings remain warm rather than offering a sharp cool-down; cooling in your accommodation is worth prioritising.
