Sharm El Sheikh

What's the weather like in Sharm El Sheikh in June?

Sitting on Egypt’s Red Sea coast at the tip of the Sinai Peninsula, Sharm El Sheikh has a hot desert climate. There’s hardly any rain through the year due to the effect of North Africa’s Atlas Mountains. Sharm El Sheikh has two seasons, a long summer from March to October and a cooler winter from November to February. As it’s nearly the peak of summer, June’s one of the hottest months of the year, so you should only go if you like the heat. The Red Sea will help to keep you cool on the coast though, with places inland having even higher temperatures.
