Is Hurghada comfortable in summer for beach holidays: how hot is it, is it windy, and what time of day is best to be outside?

One traveler recalled that at times the wind itself felt hot, but currently conditions feel comfortable and pleasant for walking outside.

A traveler used to intense heat elsewhere noted that Hurghada's heat felt milder than expected, and the sun didn't feel as scorching as, for example, in Cuba.

Another traveler noted that while daytime heat is strong, it's not felt while staying in the water (sea or pool). However, walking outside the hotel area around 5 PM still felt hot.

One traveler noted that the 'velvet season' (late summer into early autumn) is a good time to visit: the sea stays warm from summer heating while the intense heat starts to ease, making beach time more comfortable.

Recent feedback says that even with summer heat around 34–35°C, the seaside climate feels fairly comfortable, but the constant wind can make you feel chilly after swimming: it may feel cool when you get out of the water until you dry off. Sea temperature in June was estimated at about 26–29°C.

In early July, travelers said daytime by the water in Hurghada felt manageable, so beach time was comfortable, and evening walks along the shore were especially pleasant because of the warm breeze.

Recent feedback says Hurghada is almost always windy, but the feel changes from day to day: in summer it tends to be refreshing, while in winter it can feel much cooler.

If you spend time walking in direct sun without shade, the heat feels intense. Travelers noted that even winter walks in Hurghada can feel hot, and summer is noticeably harsher.
