World cities plotted by climatological normals, July

This bubble chart shows 46 world cities plotted by average July temperature, July sunshine, and July precipitation.

Hong Kong has more than 200 hours of sunshine on average in July; that is twice the sunshine that Kolkata or rainy Mumbai would have during an average July; Miami, Honolulu, and San Diego are salubrious in July with an average of more than 300 hours of sunshine during the month.

The bubbles for Osaka and Singapore overlap in July. This is the first full month of summer at Osaka, and in that area the standard grasses on golf courses are creeping bentgrass on greens, Zoysia matrella in fairways, and Zoysia japonica on roughs. Osaka is overlapping with a tropical region and the summer is just beginning, showing how difficult it is to manage cool-season grasses in transition zone climates.
