About Cairo Weather
Cairo's desert climate is dominated by the Nile River valley, which channels northerly breezes through the city during summer. The urban heat island effect is extreme — downtown Cairo's concrete and asphalt can reach 120°F surface temperatures in July while the Nile-side districts benefit from evaporative cooling. Winter days are mild (60–70°F) but nights drop sharply in the desert air. Khamsin sandstorms from the Sahara hit between March and May.
