Heavy and thunder rain may fall in the northern parts of the country up to Cairo, the southern districts of the Delta and patches of Middle Egypt.

Southwesterly strong winds get fresher in most parts of the country and stir sand and dust in the open areas.

The winds cause disturb navigation in both the Red and Mediterranean Seas.

The Mediterranean Sea sees rough conditions; waves swell to 2.5-3 meters.

The sea exposes to surface northwesterly winds over days of daytime.

The Red Sea sees the same conditions.

Egypt enjoys a moderate climate on most days of the year.

Because its boundaries extend from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to Sudan in the south, its climate varies greatly. Although some tourists venture into the searing heat of the Sahara desert, most confine their travels to the Red Sea coast and the Valley of the Nile.

Around Alexandria and the resorts that fringe the Mediterranean, summertime temperatures usually peak at around 31 Celsius (87F) but further south, in Aswan, temperatures average 41 Celsius (106F).

Although there can be a few wet days each month along the Mediterranean coast, much of Egypt experiences little or no rainfall.

So, with sunshine averaging eight to 10 hours each day in the winter and as much as 12 hours in the summer,  tourists can base their choice of time to visit solely on the likely temperatures.

With summer temperatures exceeding 35 Celsius (95F), touring the sites around Cairo can be very uncomfortable.

But it should also be pointed out that January and February can be quite chilly months in Cairo and along the northern half of Egypt’s Red Sea coast.

Dust-laden winds may affect almost any part of the country between late March and June. These can give some very unpleasant conditions at times.
