Winter in Egypt, 2024 - What's the Temperature?

Many people are surprised to hear that we spend each winter in Egypt.  The most common question that we hear after, "How long does it take to get there?" is "What is the weather/temperature like?"  

Here's a chart of the temperature for the past few days as tracked at this weather site:

It's pretty boring.  Low of 54 and high of 66 for the past five days.

Of course, as Minnesotans, we keep track ourselves with an indoor/outdoor thermometer.  Last night, our thermometer barely showed the temperature dipping below 56.

 

 

It will be sweatshirt weather for January, long sleeves for February and short sleeves in March.

 

We don't recommend visiting Egypt in June, July, August or September.

The only excitement that I can see in the weather forecast is for about a tenth of an inch of rain coming next Tuesday following winds of about 18mph on Monday.  Both rain and wind can cause major problems here.  I have blog posts from previous years here, here and here describing a few weather events.
