Weather in Port Said in July

Prime time. July is about as good as Port Said gets. Highs average 26.4 °C, lows 25.5 °C, and rain falls on 0 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

July ranks 4 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 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: it never really gets hot: not one day in an average July reaches 30 °C; the day barely swings — 0.9 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest July day reached 30.3 °C and the coldest night fell to 23.1 °C.

July is dependably dry, and that reliability is the point: across the twenty years measured, the wettest July on record still only managed 4 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 Julys brought 2 mm. Rain simply is not the variable that decides this trip — heat, crowds and cost are.

Wind is light at 14.1 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 81%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How July sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 24.4 °C in June, 26.4 here, 27.3 in August. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in July

July is at or near the longest days of Port Said's year: 14 hours of daylight, losing 0.4 hours across the month. Evenings are the real gain — dinner outdoors still happens in full light.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 26.9 °C in July — warm enough to stay in as long as you like. This is the warmest the water gets all year.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead. If the dates are flexible, November is the trade worth considering — 9 points weaker on weather, and materially quieter.

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

July 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 July — 12.9 °C warmer, the same number of rain days. Alexandria is the weaker option in July — 7.7 °C warmer, the same number of rain days.

So: July is effectively as good as it gets here — 1 points behind May, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
