Egypt: Climate & Weather


The north of Egypt can be quite cold in winter, but generally the country benefits all year round from a warm and dry climate, except the months from January to March: The temperature varies between 20°C and 32°C throughout the Mediterranean area and between 28°C and 50°C around Aswan, which rarely sees rain.

The desert is evidently a place of extremes, with stifling days and cold nights.

You would be best to choose spring or autumn to discover the country but avoid March and April when the Rhamcin blows; sandy winds that saturate the air with dust making any outing difficult.
