El Gouna in May

May in El Gouna: average highs of 31°C, lows of 25°C and 13 hours of sunshine a day. A starting point for planning around the historical weather.

May in El Gouna, Egypt, brings average daily highs of 31°C and overnight lows of 25°C in the 2016–2025 historical record. Allow room to shorten long outdoor plans when the day's forecast is hotter than you want. A schedule with easy breaks and less travelling between stops will give you more choices.

In the record, at least 1 mm of rain or snow falls on <1 of 31 days on average, a daily chance of <1%. Rain has been relatively infrequent in this record, which leaves more scope for an outdoor plan. Still keep an alternative for a wet day: a low monthly average cannot tell you when the rain will arrive.

The calculated day length, sunrise to sunset, averages about 13 hours. Sunshine averages 13 hours a day. Use the daylight window to plan the length of excursions, and check local sunrise and sunset times for the dates of your stay. Sunshine is a separate measure, and those hours need not arrive in one uninterrupted stretch.

If the coast is part of your plan, check water conditions separately. Air temperature and sunshine do not establish swimming conditions, surf quality or diving visibility. For time in town, cluster a few stops together and leave the rest of the day open. Check transport and opening hours for any plans that run late.

June has an average daily high of 34°C, 3°C higher than May. Its historical rain-day chance is 0%, compared with <1% this month. If your dates are flexible, compare those trade-offs with the kind of days you want. Neither set of averages predicts the conditions of one particular holiday.
