Climate Chart of Algiers, Algeria

Climate overview

Temperature

The monthly mean temperature is lowest in January, at 10.9 °C, and reaches its highest point in August, at 25.8 °C. These are averages for each month, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they do not describe the full range visitors may experience within a day. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of the monthly mean temperatures is 17.8 °C. This summarizes the monthly pattern without giving greater weight to longer months or indicating the conditions on any specific date.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is lowest in July, at 0.02 mm/day, making that month a conditional option for visitors prioritising lower average rainfall. This low mean does not guarantee dry days or show how often rain occurs. The highest monthly mean daily rainfall occurs in November, at 3.29 mm/day; visitors then may wish to prepare for rain. The unweighted mean across the monthly daily-rainfall means is 1.54 mm/day. These are daily averages, not monthly rainfall totals, and do not establish the likelihood of rain on a particular visit.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine reaches its highest value in June, at 12.74 hours/day, and its lowest in December, at 7.62 hours/day. Visitors planning outdoor sightseeing around brighter average conditions may use these figures as a guide, while remembering that sunshine duration is not the same as day length. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean daily sunshine durations is 10.05 hours/day. It provides a broad summary, not a promise of sunshine on any given day.

Snow

The highest monthly mean daily snowfall is recorded in January, at 0.12 mm/day; the unweighted mean across the monthly means is 0.01 mm/day. These small average amounts do not establish how many days have snowfall, whether snow accumulates or remains on the ground, or whether conditions are suitable for skiing.
