Red Sea
Red Sea weather May
What’s the weather like in Red Sea in May?
Just like the rest of the year, the Red Sea weather in May is famous for bright blue skies, warm sunshine and dry days. Resorts like El Gouna, Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada and Makadi Bay enjoy a brilliant Mediterranean-like climate, which is fantastic for beach goers, sun bathers and water sports fans.
Geographical influences
Egypt’s Red Sea resorts are along the east coast of this amazing country, with the calm sea waters lapping at their sandy beaches. Sharm El Sheikh is towards the north on the Sinai Peninsula, by the Gulf of Aqaba. These coastal hotspots all benefit from a cool sea breeze in hot month like May, which helps to keep temperatures slightly lower in the summer heat. Inland cities can’t take advantage of this refreshing wind.

The average high temperature for the region can top 35°C, with a normal daytime average around 31°C. On rare cooler days this may drop to just 27°C.
