The weather in Egypt

The weather in Egypt is generally very hot and sultry during the summer periods. Even during the autumn and winter months, the Egyptian climate is still relatively warm and comfortable though the evenings can be much cooler. Although there are some slight regional variations in temperature between the coastal and desert areas, the weather is overall the same across the whole country.

Certain months in Egypt can be especially hot such as June, July and August and special care to cover the body must be taken in order to prevent over exposure to the sun.

For the tourist, this means that a holiday in Egypt can be enjoyed all year round. A popular method of vacationing in Egypt is Nile River cruises. This form of travel can help the holiday maker fully enjoy the Egyptian weather and here at River Nile Cruises we can offer a full range of cruise options from cheap Nile cruises to the more luxury Nile cruises.

Whilst enjoying river Nile cruises, the hot Egyptian weather can be fully experienced. As with any country which has high temperatures though it is of vital importance to use sun screen to protect the skin against sunburn. High factor sun creams are the best types to use and the wearing of a hat to protect the head is also advantageous. Drinking clean, cool water on a regular basis can also help prevent heat exhaustion and dehydration.

Rain can occur in Egypt but this is limited and generally falls mainly in the coastal areas. Other features of the Egyptian climate can be the winds (known locally as khamsin). These winds are hot currents of air which can be experienced during certain months such as April and May. Often, these khamsin are responsible for the formation of sandstorms which whip up large amounts of desert sands.
