Alexandria's Climate

Alexandria stretches along Egypt's Mediterranean coast and has a hot semi-arid climate strongly moderated by the sea, making it far milder than the country's interior. Summers (June–September) are warm rather than scorching, around 28–32°C, with high humidity and virtually no rain, while winters (December–February) are cool at 12–18°C and bring the year's rainfall, sometimes with thunderstorms and gusty onshore winds. Spring and autumn are pleasant and temperate, though spring can see the hot, dusty khamsin winds sweep in from the desert. It is one of the wettest and most humid cities in Egypt.
