Your July weather guide
HotWeather in Antalya in July
July suits a trip to Antalya if you want hot, dry weather and warm-water swimming, but not if you prefer gentle summer warmth. Average daytime highs reach 34°C, nights only fall to around 23°C, and the sea is about 28°C. For a UK traveller, the main decision is how much heat you enjoy: this is Antalya's warmest month, so plan around shade and slower afternoons rather than expecting comfortable conditions for walking all day.

Expect heat that shapes your day
Antalya's average July high is 12.5°C above London's, so this is a substantial change from a typical summer day at home. Temperatures reach 30°C on 92% of days, while the hottest days reach around 38°C or more. Put any longer walks early in the morning and keep the middle of the day flexible, with shade and somewhere cool to rest. Light, loose clothing is more useful than a packed itinerary, and air conditioning is worth prioritising when choosing accommodation. Evenings should be easier than afternoons, but average overnight lows of 23°C mean you should not count on a cool night to recover.
Warm swimming water and long sunny days
The sea is a strong reason to choose July: at an average of 27.8°C, it is warm enough for swimming without a bracing start. The year-to-year range of 27°C to 29°C also suggests consistently warm water, although it may not feel particularly cooling after time in the sun. There are about 13.4 hours of sunshine a day, giving you plenty of scope to move outdoor time away from midday. Pack swimwear, a sunhat and sunscreen, and make shade part of the plan rather than an afterthought. This weather suits a swimming-focused holiday better than a trip built around long days on foot.
