I need to go from Dali to Lijiang in July. I have two questions:

I just read in Lijiang there is no railway station, so how can I go there? By bus?
Do you think from July 3rd to July 13th it will be raining a lot?
Thank you

Taking bus from Dali to Lijiang can be very convenient. You can go to DL North Bus Station or Tourist Bus Station inside DL Old Town and take the bus, and you will arrive Lijiang in 3.5 hours.
It is very likely that it will be raining. But it won't influence your visit too much. No worry!
Hope you enjoy your stay there!
