Weather reviews

About five years ago we were a group of friends in the UAE in the summer and once again did not want to go outside from air-conditioned rooms. We understood that it would be hot, but we still didn’t expect such a temperature. We agreed that we would go to the UAE in winter. But we also didn’t quite get the weather right. The temperature during the day was quite comfortable, similar to our spring or autumn. But it rained for several days. And all the days of the trip everything was shrouded in such fog that it was impossible to see the city. As well as swimming in the sea, since the water was rather cold.

Midsummer in Marmaris is the ideal time for a beach holiday. The weather was excellent, 28C – 32C, I spent maximum time relaxing on the coast. With the onset of evening it cooled down to 24C. The swimming season is in full swing, the water in July is pleasantly warm 26C, a real pleasure. I did not observe any storms, rains or other vagaries of nature. And the fresh sea breeze was a joy. The prices are not budget, but it's worth it.

The first time I was in Egypt was in August. The impressions are twofold. The Red Sea is amazing, the water temperature reached 29-30 degrees. But I didn’t want to get out of the water. The heat is simply unbearable. There were days when the thermometer showed above 40 degrees. We had to sit in the room under the air conditioning. And in the evening you can’t go to the sea. At night the heat subsided, but we didn’t get any wind or rain. Families with children swam only in the pools, lay under the awnings and ate ice cream. I had no desire to go on an excursion. But again, for those who love the sea, diving is a good month to relax. Everything is fine in the water.

I was delighted with the weather in Alanya. The heat at 35 C does not frighten me, but rather seduces me. And there are many reasons for this. Firstly, the sea is well warmed up, 27 C, you can splash around for hours. Secondly, there was no rain, not a single day was wasted. Thirdly, excursions did not interest me, I was just going to lie down on the beach. And you can always cool off in the sea or by drinking a cold cocktail. We walked in the evenings when the temperature dropped.

In the fall, it’s a great time to relax in Egypt, there is no longer any intense heat, but the water in the sea warms up and retains heat very well, on average +27°C. There is no rain during this period, which is most attractive for tourists. In the sun +31-33°C, in the evening +24-26°C, ideal for a beach holiday. October can truly be called the velvet season of Hurghada, there is a lot of fruit, sun and white warm sand, what else is needed, glasses, a swimsuit and off you go.

It’s hot in Hurghada in July; upon arrival you need a couple more days to adapt to the climate change. The heat reached +39°C, which is deadly because I’m not used to it, I want to quickly plunge into the water or straight into the ice. The water is no different and can reach 28-30°C. In the evening it is a little easier, at least there is no scorching sun, +30-33°C is the usual temperature for the night. By the end of the vacation we had already adapted and didn’t want to leave.

I went on holiday to Qatar with my friends and realised that we had chosen May correctly. Even in spring, in the capital of Qatar, Doha, there was intense heat, which subsided a little towards evening. The water temperature was also incredibly high. Swimming was a pleasure. True, it was necessary to use SPF, because at forty-degree temperatures you can easily get sunburnt. Probably, if we had gone in the summer, the weather would have been even hotter. For people who live in a moderate climate, even the May weather here was very hot, and in the summer it would probably have been too much.

I love warmth and there is plenty of it in Pattaya, as it turned out, even in abundance, the temperature is consistently no lower than +30 C. It would have been okay, but the picture of the resort town was spoiled by precipitation, and it reminded of itself with frequent frequency. And for a moment let’s imagine a mixture of heat and moisture. Of course, there is the sea, but even there the water breaks records, the same +30 C. Whether in the water or on land, there is no difference at all. These are the weather conditions in August.

We have long wanted to visit Bulgaria, and when choosing a place for a trip, we chose Sunny Beach, probably one of the largest resorts in this country, with a long beach. The choice of the resort can be called correct, but with the month, we made a slight mistake. The beginning of May for a beach holiday turned out to be quite cold. And if during the day, when the Sun warmed the air, it became warm enough for walking, then with the arrival of evening the temperature dropped sharply by ten degrees, and it became completely cold. And, of course, the water temperature did not yet have time to warm up for swimming.

Just yesterday my husband and I arrived from Portugal. Faro, a gorgeous city because of its climate! Temperatures there are forecast to average 20 degrees Celsius. But as soon as we got off the plane, we were already burned. The sun is very warm there. There are almost no winds, it rained only once a week. The main feature of this city is that because of its region. At a temperature of +20, it feels like 35. I personally love it when it’s so warm. Very suitable climate for me.
