July weather forecast
Egypt

July, in the heart of the Egyptian summer, witnesses extreme heat across the country, characterized by high temperatures and extremely dry conditions. This month usually sees the peak of the summer season, with temperatures often reaching their annual maximum.

In Cairo and other regions in the north, including the Mediterranean coast, the high temperatures persist. Cairo experiences average low temperatures of 22.2°C (72°F), with the average high temperatures peaking at an extreme 38.3°C (100.9°F). Even in the coastal areas, the Mediterranean Sea's moderating influence does little to alleviate the intense heat.

Rainfall continues to be scarce throughout Egypt in July, maintaining the country's predominantly dry summer climate. Cities like Alexandria, although slightly milder due to their coastal location, continue to experience low humidity levels, aligning with the arid conditions typical of this time of year.

In the Sinai Peninsula, July bears no signs of frost or snowfall at higher altitudes, such as at Mount Catherine. Instead, like the rest of the country, the region faces extremely high temperatures. Southern cities like Aswan and Luxor face a severe heatwave with daytime temperatures often soaring up to 41.7°C (107.1°F).

The seawater temperatures in July remain high, perfect for beach activities and water sports. Along the Red Sea coast at Sharm El Sheikh, the seawater temperatures fluctuate between 27.8°C (82°F) and 29.4°C (84.9°F). The Mediterranean Sea near Alexandria, although a little cooler, displays seawater temperatures ranging from 26.1°C (79°F) to 28.3°C (82.9°F).

Compared to June, July continues to uphold the trend of soaring temperatures and arid conditions, marking the peak of Egypt's summer months. With the subsequent month of August, these harsh climatic conditions are expected to persist, before the onset of the relatively milder autumn season.
