Weather in Hurghada in April

Prime time. April is about as good as Hurghada gets. Highs average 27.9 °C, lows 20.4 °C, and rain falls on 0 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

April ranks 6 of 12 in Hurghada: past the worst of the year but short of January, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain is not a factor worth planning around this month. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 6 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest April day reached 34 °C and the coldest night fell to 13.9 °C.

April is dependably dry, and that reliability is the point: across the twenty years measured, the wettest April on record still only managed 10 mm, and the driest managed 0 mm. There is no meaningful variability to plan around, which makes this one of the few months anywhere that you can build a fixed outdoor itinerary against without a fallback. The wettest single day in twenty years of Aprils brought 7 mm. Rain simply is not the variable that decides this trip — heat, crowds and cost are.

Wind sits around 17.1 km/h — a steady breeze rather than a nuisance, and welcome on the warmer days, and humidity is unremarkable at 48%.

How April sits in the year

The month is on the way up: 2.8 °C warmer than March, and May adds another 3.4 °C. Late in the month feels noticeably different from the start of it, which is worth knowing if the trip is short.

Daylight in April

12.8 hours of daylight, gaining 0.8 hours across the month. That is between Hurghada's extremes of 13.8 and 10.4 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 23.2 °C in April — comfortable for a proper swim. The sea peaks at 29.1 °C in August and bottoms out at 22.6 °C — water lags the air by a month or two, which is why the best swimming often comes after the best weather.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

April in Hurghada versus nearby

If Hurghada is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Sharm el-Sheikh is the weaker option in April — 3.3 °C warmer, the same number of rain days. Cairo is the weaker option in April — 2.4 °C warmer, 1 day more rain.

So: April is effectively as good as it gets here — 4 points behind January, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
