TL;DR
Travelers report that Luxor can sometimes be breezy even in summer, which makes the heat a bit easier to handle. Still, conditions depend a lot on luck, so plan for very hot weather if visiting in late August.
Travelers who visited Luxor on June 19 said there was a noticeable breeze, strong enough to blow a scarf off their guide. So even in summer, sightseeing there is not always completely windless.
According to a local guide, that kind of weather was considered lucky because the breeze made Luxor more manageable. For a late-August trip, treat this as a helpful bonus rather than something guaranteed.
Based on this recent report, Luxor can get breezy even during the hottest part of the year. But for the second half of August, it is still best to expect intense heat and treat any cooling wind as a lucky exception.
