Do I need warm clothes in Egypt — wind, air and water temperature tips?

A recent report puts daytime temperatures at about 25°C; when there is no wind, the sun feels quite strong. Evenings are cooler, but heavy winter clothing is unnecessary.

A recent report gives daytime temperatures of about 27–28 °C and sea temperature of 22–23 °C. A light windbreaker was useful at night.

In response to a question about needing warm clothes in the evening (trip in 2 weeks, late August), locals noted wind occurs but not daily; since it's not winter, evenings feel comfortable and warm clothing isn't needed.

In late July–early August, expect roughly 38–40°C during the day and around 30°C at night. Low humidity makes the heat more bearable. Wind is usually light, but it's what makes the heat tolerable — on rare completely calm days it gets noticeably harder.

In January, expect roughly 25 °C during the day, around 17 °C in the evening, and sea temperature near 23 °C. A windbreaker or sweatshirt is useful after sunset even if daytime feels comfortable.

After swimming, especially in the morning, you may want to wrap up right away: the wind can be strong even if it is not actually cold. A robe is not essential for a child, but it can be more convenient than just a towel for early beach time.

Wind conditions can change unpredictably خلال the day: it may be breezy in the morning and calmer after lunch, or the opposite. It is worth having a light extra layer for shifting conditions.

Long sleeves in the evening are not strictly necessary but can be handy depending on wind conditions.

Some beach areas have windbreakers set up in winter — check with your hotel on arrival.

Bring warm layers for the summit of Mount Sinai — it gets cold before sunrise even in summer. A hat is essential. It warms up significantly on the descent. Carry your own drinks (a thermos works well) as café prices increase sharply with altitude.

In the second half of November, wind and warmth are the main concerns. A light jacket is a safe bet.

The breeze is warm, but à la carte restaurants blast the AC — a light cardigan is useful indoors. Outside it's hot. There may be no iron in the room, so a compact travel steamer is a handy alternative.

The sea and pools may feel cool compared to the air temperature, but in July the water is usually nearly as warm as the air.
