Climate Chart of Cairo, Egypt

Monthly data: Temperature °C, Rain (mm), Sunshine (h) · 2013–2023

Climate overview

Temperature

Monthly mean temperatures are coolest in January, at 14.0 °C, and reach their highest monthly mean in August, at 30.5 °C. These are averages for whole months, not daytime highs, so they cannot show the full range visitors might encounter within a day. The unweighted mean of the monthly temperature means is 23.1 °C. It gives a broad summary across the calendar months, not a day-weighted annual average or a forecast for a particular visit.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine is highest in June, at 12.77 hours/day, and lowest in December, at 8.64 hours/day. The unweighted mean across monthly sunshine means is 10.73 hours/day per day. Sunshine duration can help with broad outdoor-planning expectations, but it is not the same as daylight length or a promise of uninterrupted sun.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall reaches its highest monthly average in March, at 0.24 mm/day. This is a daily mean, not a monthly total, and does not indicate how often rain occurs or whether a particular day will be wet. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean daily rainfall is 0.09 mm/day. Treat this as broad context rather than a guarantee of dry conditions on any visit.

Best Travel Time Guide for Cairo, Egypt: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

For visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages, January is the relevant option, with a monthly mean temperature of 14.0 °C; this does not describe daytime maximums or guarantee the conditions on a specific date. If lower average rainfall is your priority, the supplied figure gives an unweighted mean daily rainfall of 0.09 mm/day, but it does not identify a lowest-rainfall month, guarantee dry days, or quantify rain frequency. For rain preparation, note that the highest monthly mean daily rainfall is in March, at 0.24 mm/day; these averages can inform planning without predicting an individual day.

For outdoor sightseeing planned around sunshine duration, June has the highest mean daily sunshine at 12.77 hours/day, while December has the lowest at 8.64 hours/day. These are monthly averages, not guarantees of clear skies or measures of day length, so use them as one planning consideration rather than a universal best-time ranking.
