How to unlock the Getting the Vapors achievement in Persona 5 Royal - Definitive Guide
Now, you must go to the Bathhouse, which is located at Yongen-Jaya Backstreets.
Before going in, talk to the sportsman outside, before entering Morgana will say "...Wow, this steam is pretty intense." That's your sign that you are doing this at the right time, now just enter, it will cost you 500 yen.
And that's it.
HOWEVER, and I'm sure this will get you furious, I know it got me, this achievement is RANDOM, you are not guaranteed to unlock it on your first attempt, as sometimes, instead of the achievement, the game will just give you an extra charm point instead. Yeah I'm sorry, that's just how it is.

• January 20th (I personally confirmed this one)
All these days are rainy/snowy, and Morgana and the old man sitting in the alley will both comment about how hot it is. However, even if all of the requirements are met, there are a lot of days where this just won’t work. If it’s not on the list, you’re mileage will vary. The list is not exhaustive by any means, but the ones listed will 100% work regardless of circumstance. There seems to be no actual random chance involved in how this event is programmed, the valid dates are just randomly distributed. Still, with the earliest possible day being in mid-May and the latest being in mid-January, there is no rush for this achievement, just think about heading in and getting it if you have nothing better to do when these days roll around. The list will be amended if new dates are confirmed to work.
*MISSABLE*
Across the street from Leblanc is a bathhouse where you can spend time in the evenings to increase charm. During rainy days, you can stay in the baths for longer and get an additional point for charm in addition to the normal amount. However, there is also about a 50% chance your protagonist will be overwhelmed instead of refreshed when staying in the baths for longer, instead yielding a point for guts.
This trophy involves going to the bathhouse on a rainy day and getting the latter of those two results. If you want to save as much time as possible, it is recommended you save your game right before entering the bathhouse on a rainy day, that way you can reload if you get the additional charm point instead of the additional guts point.
If you see this screen, your player character will have stayed too long in the bathhouse and become exhausted, unlocking the trophy:
