What July is like
The sunniest month of the year, with 381.6 hours of sunshine, about 12 hours a day. The average high is 30.4 °C and the low 21.0 °C, and rain is almost unheard of (0.2 mm). Plan beach time for the morning or late afternoon.
July is the second-warmest month of the year in Paphos and the eleventh-wettest, with less than 1% of the year’s rain. By day it’s 2.3 °C warmer than June and 0.6 °C cooler than August.
Relative humidity at the airport averages 74% in July, against 70% over the year. These are the averages for Paphos Airport, on the coast 9 metres above the sea; Villa Prasino is in Peyia, on a hillside above the sea at Coral Bay, so take them as a guide to the season rather than a forecast.
What’s open in July
- Lifeguards are on duty on Coral Bay’s Blue Flag beach.
- The Kato Paphos archaeological park is on its summer hours, open until 19:30.
- On the turtle beaches of Lara and Toxeftra, the summer rules apply from 1 June to 30 September: no umbrellas, no sunbeds and no visits at night.
Flying to Paphos in July
July 2027 falls in the airlines’ summer 2027 timetable, when all 14 UK airports we cover fly to Paphos. The summer 2027 timetables weren’t out when we read them, so that count is from summer 2026. Our flights to Paphos from the UK page shows which days each airport flies.
Is July a good time to visit?
For the beach and swimming, July is one of the best months: the sea is above 22 °C and the days are almost dry.
For ideas whatever the weather, see things to do in Coral Bay.
What to pack for July
Light clothes, sunhats and plenty of sun cream: the sun is strong and the days are long.
