Compare the best Car Hire deals in Egypt
When we talk about Egyptian climate, we should know that the climate of Egypt is hot and dry in almost all parts of the country while along the Mediterranean coast, it is humid. This however is not the case at all times; the humidity has now spread up to even Cairo city. This piece of writing will talk about the brief details that a tourist should know about the weather of Egypt and when is the best time to go to Egypt.
Egypt has different climatic variations across the city and the desert shows two extremes in day and night also. During the summer season, the temperature might soar up to 38 °C in the city in daytime while in the desert, it may show up itself to over 40°C in the day while in winter the city shows moderately cold temperatures of around 14-16 °C.
In the Mediterranean side, the climate remains as mild but humid. The average rainfall at this place is around 200 mm and this explains the reason for the humidity of the coastal region. As we move on to the city centre, the rainfall precipitation decreases rapidly until we come to Cairo city where the rainfall precipitation is only 28 mm.
The winter season is colder than it is usually thought by the people. This is because in winter, cold winds blow from the desert areas in sunrise and sunset. However, when you move into the city regions, such as in mid city of Cairo, you might find the effect of cold weather being broken up.
The above mentioned reason makes the city of Cairo quite exciting during the winter nights. This is because the temperature falls till 10°C in the city centre at night which gives it cold climate as compared to the extremely hot summer. This explains why people like to visit Egypt in November and December time.
The month from March to April is not considered to be favourable for tourism because there are five days in this month which are known as ‘Khamsin’. These days present with extreme sandstorms which might get uncomfortable to the tourists.
If a tourist is keen in determining the alternations of weather in Egypt, he can ask Car Hire in Cairo Airport Egypt to provide him an experienced driver and a car and he can then ultimately compare the city, Mediterranean and desert area temperatures together.
