TL;DR
Late August and September in Hurghada are hot (35–38°C), but humidity is low and there's usually a breeze. Mid-September feels more comfortable than August; June is milder than both.
June is noticeably less intense than August — not extreme heat. Travelers who visited both months consistently prefer June. In August the sea water can feel cooler, which some swimmers appreciate.
Even early December can be warm in Hurghada — the weather is unpredictable and a 'cool' season doesn't guarantee comfortable temperatures.
For families with young children, late August to early September means warm evenings and comfortable sea exits — unlike November, when cold winds make evenings chilly. You can stay on the beach until sunset without getting cold.
Mid-September temperatures hover around 35°C. The first couple of days feel very hot, but you adjust quickly. Compared to November it's actually pleasant — no cold wind, warm sea, and you can comfortably spend the whole day on the beach.
Early May is already warm enough to make evening walks uncomfortable. On a completely windless day the temperature can spike to 38°C — rare but possible.
September is a popular and well-regarded month for Hurghada — many repeat visitors specifically choose it year after year for its pleasant conditions.
Late September is hot but not humid. August is similar — despite high temperatures, the dry air makes the heat more bearable than expected.
