What's the temperature like in Lesotho during July?
July is typically the coolest month in Lesotho. Remember that in July it's winter in the souther hemisphere! The temperature reaches around 10℃ during the daytime, falling away to -1℃ at night. The UV index will be moderate at this time of year, so not something to worry about for the average person. However, if you're going to be outside for long periods it's worth wearing a broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and UV-blocking sunglasses. Remember that bright surfaces, such as water and sand increase UV exposure.

Does it rain in Lesotho during July?
July is typically the driest month in Lesotho. On average, in July you'll see rain on just one day in the month. In other words, you shouldn't see any of the wet stuff. Of course, some of that rain will actually fall as sleet, snow, and possibly freezing rain. There's a small chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in Lesotho during July?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in July. With moderate humidity, the wind will feel chilly, so you'll want to wear layers.
