The weather In summer is getting hot and sunny while the weather In winter time it's cold with some possibilties for rain, however still around the winter time still you can enjoy a warm climate during the daytime and a bit of chill at night.
The recommended clothes that can be appropriate for Cairo's weather will be light cotton garments during summer time while a heavy cotton during the day and woollen garments and coats in the evening may be necessary during winter
The weather in Cairo is always warm or hot and the nights cool, with only two seasons: a very hot summer between May and October, and a mild winter from November to April. Cairo is very dry, receiving on average only about a centimetre of rain a year, but it does have high humidity levels in summer. The city occasionally experiences dust storms brought by the sirocco hot winds that are characteristic of Egypt's climate in the month of April.
It is said that Egypt really only has two seasons, and that both of these seasons are really just different variations of summer. This can be said for many parts of Eygpt, in particular in the more southern cities such as Sharm El Sheikh, but isn't so much the case for Cairo.
In the defence of those who describe Egypt as bi-seasonal, it can be said that Cairo is undoubtedly hot year round, but it does have four distinguishable seasons and each of these seasons offer different advantages and disadvantages from a tourism point of view.
Cairo, the capital and largest city in Egypt, has a desert climate consisting of hot days and cool nights. The summers can get unbearably hot which find many escaping to costal destinations such as Alexandria.
