Météo à El Gouna en mai

El Gouna's forum calls May warm and breezy by day, low-to-mid 30s°C with the sea breeze taking the edge off, and regulars say evenings can turn surprisingly cool if the wind picks up, so something heavier is worth packing for after dark. One late-May visitor found it genuinely hot even after sunset, so expect some year-to-year variation.

Regulars are specific this falls within the region's own Dec-through-March rain window, though real rain stays genuinely rare even inside that stretch, windy conditions the more consistent daily feature worth planning around. Our row backs that mild, genuinely dry read, 26.2C over 16C nights feeling 13C, with rain essentially absent, 0.2mm across a small fraction of a day, and a real 24 kph wind. Regulars are consistent evenings turn cold enough for a proper fleece or jacket even on a warm, sunny day, the wind itself the single most reliable thing to prepare for regardless of temperature. The sea sits at a mild 20.8C. The record: 10.9 hours of sun, humidity 44 percent and AQI 53.

Regulars describe this town's wind as a cycle rather than a constant: a run of genuinely windy days, then a calmer stretch, repeating through the summer months, and typically building from a calm morning to its peak by afternoon and evening rather than starting the day already gusty. Our row backs a strong average, 25.3 kph, and the heat too, 35.7C reading as a real 35C, over 26.7C nights, with rain effectively absent and humidity down to 44 percent - dry enough that regulars call the evening wind a welcome cooling effect rather than a discomfort. The sea holds a warm 27.2C, one of this month's more forgiving numbers against the daytime heat. The record: 11.3 hours of sun and AQI 53.

Two months on from April, the Red Sea heat is fully on: our row gives 36.6C over a 26.7C night, with zero rain and zero precipitation days. Regulars put early June at 30 to 34C and the rest of the month in the mid-thirties, and their argument for it is the air rather than the number - humidity at 35 percent and a standing coastal breeze, our row's 25.2 kph, which is why the feels-like figure comes in at 36C, slightly below the thermometer rather than above it. They are honest that this is still extreme and that tolerance is personal. The sea has warmed to 26.4C from April's 22C, so the water is now comfort rather than relief. The record: 12.7 hours of sun and AQI 62.

April here runs from the high twenties into the mid-thirties as the month goes on, and regulars call the second half really pleasant with warm evenings - while still telling you to pack a jumper. Our row explains why: the 19.6C night reads as 17C once the 23.4 kph wind is counted, and it is chilliest on the windiest evenings. That wind is the point of the place for kitesurfers, who put the Red Sea season at September to April, and it is welcome by day at 30.2C. The sea is the other surprise - 22C, mild rather than warm, and divers report a 3mm shortie being fine until the end of a dive. Humidity sits at 39 percent, so the afternoon never feels hotter than it reads. The record: 0.4mm of rain, 11.7 hours of sun and AQI 59.
