Q: What's the weather like?
A: The climate in Hurghada can be summed up in just two words, hot and dry. Lying on the eastern coast of Egypt and alongside the Red Sea, Hurghada is known for its pleasant year-round weather.
The summer temperatures may be high, averaging around 30°C / 86°F or 31°C / 88°F from June to August, as opposed to highs of more than 40°C / 104°F in other more inland areas. Whilst temperatures only drop slightly in September, to around 27°C / 84°F, they are by no means unbearable.
