Météo à Hurghada (Red Sea) mois par mois

Hurghada-forum threads asking just how windy 'windy' really is get mixed answers: one visitor called the days beautiful and barely breezy at all, only for the wind to pick up once the sun went down; others report genuinely gusty conditions from morning on, tied to the khamaseen winds that blow through in the warmer months. Posters agree the region's reputation for windsurfing isn't marketing - the wind is real and regular enough to plan around, evening cardigan included regardless of how the day went. The record: 26C days feeling like 25C, 16.6C nights, essentially none at all, a 22.3C sea, humidity a dry 46 percent, wind averaging 24 km/h and 10.9 hours of sun.

April in Hurghada is low 30s C by day dropping to the mid 20s in the evening, and the forum's regulars describe the wind as a feature rather than a problem - hot rather than sand-bearing, and welcome against the heat, though some days and evenings do blow properly. The number that matters for anyone getting in the water is the sea: 23 to 24C in late March and early April, warming through the month, which divers and snorkellers say means a 2 to 3mm shortie rather than skins. Warm air over a sea that has not caught up is the shape of the month. The record: 29.7C days, 20.2C nights, humidity 43 percent, essentially no precipitation days, 11.7 hours of sun and a 22.7C Red Sea.

Forum posters describe May daytime temperatures commonly in the low-to-mid 30sC with a steady breeze off the Red Sea and low humidity, with late April/early May occasionally pushing close to 39C on a hot spell. Evenings stay warm rather than cool, typically 25-27C, so posters suggest at most a light layer rather than anything heavier. Sea temperatures are reported around 22-25C - described by posters as gorgeous and genuinely warm enough for comfortable swimming, with the sea breeze doing a lot of work to keep the daytime heat feeling manageable rather than oppressive.

Regulars are specific daytime temperatures commonly reach the mid-30s Celsius with some days topping 40C, though evenings stay genuinely pleasant in the low-to-mid 20s rather than cold, and a steady breeze often takes the edge off the sun's intensity. Our row backs that hot, genuinely dry read, 35.8C reading as a hot 36C, over 27.2C nights feeling 26C, with rain entirely absent and humidity down to just 39 percent. Regulars are consistent this reads as genuinely hot but manageable rather than unbearable, sun protection and steady hydration the standard advice rather than a reason to avoid the month outright. The sea sits at a warm, swimmable 26.8C. The record: 12.7 hours of sun, a 25.2 kph wind and AQI 64.

Hurghada-forum threads on August weather (one literally titled asking if visiting is a mad idea) confirm the heat is real but manageable for most: temperatures comfortably over 40C in direct sun, staying in the mid-to-high 30s even after dark, but posters are consistent that it's a dry heat rather than the muggy version found in more humid destinations, with a steady breeze off the Red Sea taking the edge off. Opinions split cleanly - some visitors love the intensity, others find it genuinely too much - but the standing advice across every thread is the same: treat midday as strictly indoor or shaded time, hydrate constantly, and save sightseeing for morning or evening. Water sports and the sea itself are unaffected by the heat and remain the main daytime activity regardless of how hot the air gets. The record: a scorching 36.8C by day feeling like 39C, 29.4C nights, essentially no precipitation at all, a dry 44 percent humidity, a 29C sea and 12 hours of sun.

October in Hurghada still touches the 30s by day - our row says 31.9C - and the nights are comfortable enough that most people never reach for a cardigan. Whether you do, regulars say, depends entirely on the wind, which is the local variable: forecasts of 30 to 40 kph turn up in October and our row averages 22.6. The Red Sea barely moves through the year and is still properly warm at 26.7C, so swimming is not the question. The thing visitors notice instead is the light: it is dark by half past five at the latest by this point, which shortens the usable beach day more than the temperature does. The record: 23.8C nights, 0.1 precipitation days, humidity 52 percent and 10.7 hours of sun.

Hurghada's forum rates November as reliably warm and comfortable — hot sun tempered by a light breeze, still swimmable, without high summer's harsher heat. Regulars' one consistent tip: evenings by the water can turn cool enough that a light cardigan is worth having for dinner outdoors.
