Weather

Alexandria's temperate
climate makes it one of the region's most popular
resort destinations, especially during shoulder
seasons (April/May and October/November), when
northern coast sea breezes keep temperatures at a
comfortable level. In the dry desert climate of
summer (June to September), temperatures can reach
32°C (90°F). Winter (December to March) is cooler
and more humid, with occasional rain. Alexandria is
considered the wettest city in Egypt, receiving
about 20 centimeters (7.8 inches) of rain every
year. |
