What is the weather like in Sharm el-Sheikh in August — is it worth visiting?

August in Sharm el-Sheikh brings extreme heat, on par with July or even hotter. If you handle high temperatures well, it's fine to visit. Those sensitive to heat are better off going in September or October.

Despite being the hottest month, mid-to-late August can occasionally bring clouds and even rare rain — surprising but it happens. Weather is unpredictable: with a breeze the heat is more bearable, without wind it becomes very tough.

Wind is the key comfort factor in August. With a breeze, the heat is manageable; without it, conditions become very harsh. It's impossible to predict in advance, so be prepared for either scenario.
