Hurghada weather reviews

Paul, January 2024
Not many people like to go on vacation in the winter months, so I chose January. The city of Hurghada (Egypt) greeted me with sun and strong wind. The latter was just right for me, since I planned to go windsurfing. The temperature in the first week of January was more than 20°C, the sun was bright, so I used sunscreen. It was cooler in the evenings, so I walked around in clothes with sleeves. For a quiet holiday and water sports, January in Hurghada is perfect.
Dmitriy, January 2024
In January in Hurghada, Egypt, the weather is usually warm and sunny. The average temperature is approximately 22-25°C, making it an ideal destination for those seeking refuge from the cold winter weather. The sea is usually warm, around 22-24°C, which allows you to enjoy beach holidays and swimming. However, be prepared for some cool evenings and nights when temperatures can drop to 15°C. It is important to take into account that at this time of year Hurghada can be windy, which creates a slight feeling of coolness, especially in the evening. However, January is still considered one of the best months to visit Hurghada as it offers relatively mild and comfortable weather for relaxing on the beach and enjoying water sports.
