TL;DR
Summer in Dahab is hot (around 38°C/100°F in shade), but constant wind makes the heat much more bearable, especially near the sea. Sea temperature is around 27-28°C (81-82°F).
In early August, travelers staying in the Ali Baba area note the heat is barely noticeable thanks to constant light wind — conditions similar to late September last year.
In late July, strong wind blows in Dahab from morning until midday, then calms down. Overall the heat is quite bearable, especially near the sea.
In late July, shade temperature reaches around 38°C (100°F) — feels like a hot hairdryer. It's noticeably more comfortable by the sea, with water at 27-28°C (81-82°F). Inland/mountain areas are much hotter and stuffier than the coast.
For comparison: summer heat in Sharm El Sheikh feels much harsher than in Dahab, as it lacks Dahab's strong constant winds.
