April weather forecast
Egypt

April in Egypt marks the end of the spring season and the onset of the early summer. This month witnesses a significant jump in temperatures across the country, preparing for the characteristic heat of the upcoming summer months.

In northern Egypt, including Cairo and the Mediterranean coast, the rise in average temperatures becomes more prominent. In Cairo, the average low temperature increases to 14.4°C (57.9°F), while the average high reaches up to 28.6°C (83.5°F). The city begins to experience hotter days, but the weather remains relatively mild, especially when compared to the intense heat of the peak summer months.

Rainfall along the Mediterranean coast is almost non-existent in April, contributing to the general aridity that defines Egypt's climate. Consequently, cities like Alexandria experience low humidity levels, with a notable decrease in the air moisture content.

In the Sinai Peninsula, the occurrence of frost and snowfall at higher altitudes, such as Mount Catherine, is practically absent in April, as the region fully embraces warmer temperatures. Similarly, in the southern cities of Aswan and Luxor, daytime temperatures often rise to 34.4°C (93.9°F), indicating the arrival of the hotter summer days.

The seawater temperatures continue to increase in April, providing favourable conditions for beach activities. On the Red Sea coast at Sharm El Sheikh, seawater temperatures range between 23.3°C (73.9°F) and 26.1°C (79°F). The Mediterranean Sea near Alexandria sees slightly cooler seawater temperatures, ranging from 18.9°C (66°F) to 21.7°C (71.1°F).

Compared to March, April showcases a more drastic warming pattern, highlighting the transition from the pleasant spring to the hot summer season. With the upcoming month of May, Egypt prepares to face the intense heat typical of its summer months.
