EG - Egypt

The Egyptian climate is desert-like in almost the whole country, with the exception of the Mediterranean area where it is more temperate, although considerably drier than the average. Winters are mild, although there is no shortage of winter frosts in the desert, due to the strong temperature variations between day and night. Summers are very hot and dry (the coasts of the Red Sea tend to be more humid but remain desert-like in precipitative terms), and temperatures very easily reach 43-45 ° C, with peaks of over 50 ° C in the middle of the desert . The “freshest” area of the country in summer is that of the Mediterranean coasts, benefited by the sea breezes that make the heat more bearable. Precipitation is very low, especially in inland Saharan areas, where it may not rain for many months. Torrential rain sometimes occurs, but only a few times a year.
