Pogoda Susa — czerwiec

June in Hammamet is hot and dry - the forum's range is 27 to 36C under clear blue skies, with the occasional wet day clearing quickly. The sea is the thing to calibrate. Early June is already fine for paddling and swimming on regulars' accounts, though our row puts it at 22.9C, a good deal cooler than the air, because the Mediterranean is still catching up at this point in the year. May to October is the warm stretch here; March and early December are what people suggest instead for cooler weather and fewer visitors. The record: 28.7C days that feel like 31C, 20.3C nights, 1.6 precipitation days carrying 8.6mm, 12.8 hours of sun and a 16 kph breeze.

Sousse's own forum doesn't sugarcoat January: it's genuinely changeable winter weather, with a warm window roughly late morning to early afternoon when the sun is out, followed by a sharp drop as soon as it sets - dusk arrives by 5:30pm and temperatures fall quickly after. Posters recommended packing both a light fleece and a proper raincoat for the odd shower, though January is actually one of Sousse's drier months overall - a run of clear, dry days is more typical than a rainy stretch. It's not a beach-weather month, but midday sun on a clear day is still genuinely warm and worth planning around.

Forum posters don't undersell it: July averages around 30C but regularly climbs past 35C, described in escalating terms as hot, really hot, and 'possibly stifling' on the worst days - even locals admit the July-August stretch is a lot to handle. The beaches themselves get consistent praise - sandy, not rocky, with warm, swimmable Mediterranean water - and strong suncream is treated as essential given how intense the sun gets. For an escape from the midday heat, posters point to the Sousse medina's museum as a genuinely cool indoor break between beach sessions.
