What’s the weather like in Red Sea in June?

The Red Sea weather in June is very hot, with temperatures over 30°C for most of the resorts by this beautiful stretch of water in Egypt.

Geographical influences

The Red Sea’s found to the east of Egypt. Hurghada, El Gouna and Makadi Bay line the coast with Sharm El Sheikh to the north on the Sinai Peninsula, by the Gulf of Aqaba. These coastal hotspots get a refreshing sea breeze in hot summer months which helps to keep conditions more comfortable. Inland cities, like Cairo and Luxor, don’t benefit from this wind.
