Has the climate in Hurghada changed?

Hurghada has warmed about 3.5°F between 1991 and 2024.

About 1.0°F per decade, measured from Hurghada's official daily weather records, 1991–2024. Individual years still bounce around — some recent ones came in cool — but the long-term line has clearly risen.

Is that a lot? Hurghada's warming is broadly in line with other cities in Egypt — neither unusually fast nor unusually slow.

What has actually changed

Each bar is one year. Most recent years sit above the older ones. Some recent years still came in cool — warming is a slope, not a straight climb.

When in the year the change shows up

How much warmer each month is now than in the 1970s. Useful if you garden or care about a particular season — otherwise the headline above already has the answer.

March has warmed the most — about 1.7°F. The warming runs across the whole year, not just one season.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — 1991–2020 normals computed from 28 years of daily observations at Hurguada, a weather station, about 15 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
