If you’re one of the many sun seekers looking to get away, you probably want to know where is hot in July. Here’s a handful of destinations that might just do the trick!
The beautiful Balearic island of Menorca enjoys an average temperature of 22 degrees Celsius in July. That’s just perfect for enjoying the island’s white sand beaches and turquoise waters. And there is no shortage of such beaches. The island boasts loads, including the large white sand beach of Punta Prima and the stunning Cala Galdana.
July is also a month in which you can often catch festival on Menorca. The Sant Jaume festival takes place on the 24th and 25th July (regardless of the day of the week) in Es Castell.

If you think you can handle it even hotter in July, but would still rather keep your flight time relatively low, then Tunisia might be ideal. It takes around 3.5 hours to fly there from the UK and the country enjoys a pretty spectacular 27 degrees Celsius average temperature. Too hot? Then you can cool off in the sea at some of the stunning beaches.
The flight time from the UK to Tunisia is approximately 3 and a half hours so you can leave in the morning and make it in time for lunch!
