Weather in Port Said in April

Prime time. April is about as good as Port Said gets. Highs average 19 °C, lows 17.6 °C, and rain falls on 2 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

April ranks 7 of 12 in Port Said: past the worst of the year but short of May, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain falls on only 2 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. 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: it never really gets hot: not one day in an average April reaches 30 °C; the day barely swings — 1.5 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest April day reached 28.5 °C and the coldest night fell to 13.5 °C.

April is dependably dry, and that reliability is the point: across the twenty years measured, the wettest April on record still only managed 37 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 23 mm. Rain simply is not the variable that decides this trip — heat, crowds and cost are.

Wind sits around 16 km/h — a steady breeze rather than a nuisance, and welcome on the warmer days, and humidity runs at 77%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How April sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 17.6 °C in March, 19 here, 21.6 in May. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in April

12.9 hours of daylight, gaining 0.9 hours across the month. That is between Port Said's extremes of 14.2 and 10.1 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 18.5 °C in April — swimmable, but it takes a moment to commit. The sea peaks at 28 °C in August and bottoms out at 17.5 °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

Busy. Popular without being frantic; book the things you care about, improvise the rest.

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

April in Port Said versus nearby

If Port Said is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Cairo is the weaker option in April — 11.3 °C warmer, 1 day less rain. Alexandria is close enough to be a coin toss — 7.2 °C warmer, 1 day less rain.

So: April is effectively as good as it gets here — 6 points behind May, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
