Weather in Cairo
Cairo has a desert climate consisting of hot days and cool nights.
Spring (March to May) is one of the best times to visit Cairo, with pleasantly warm days and little chance of rain. The average temperature in April is 21°C (70°F). Time your visit with the Downtown Contemporary Arts Festival, which runs for three weeks throughout Spring and includes dance performances, music concerts and shows.
Summer (June to August) is hot and muggy. The pollution in Cairo is also at its worst. Day time temperatures can exceed 35°C (95°F). Keep sightseeing to early mornings and late afternoons.
Autumn (September to November) is pleasant, with warm days and cool nights. The great weather, fewer tourists and lower hotel rates make this another great time to visit Cairo.
Winter (December to February) is the high season, with temperatures reaching 20°C (68°F). Do pack some warm clothes, though, as temperatures can occasionally plunge to as little as 9°C (48°F).
Please note that during Ramadan, which happens in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, many restaurants close during the day and some bars close for the entire month. Major festivals, like Eid ul fitr and Eid ul Adha, lead to flights, trains and buses getting booked up in advance.
