What is the climate?

Warm and dry climate. Apart from January, February and March, sometimes rather cold in the North, the average temperatures are close to 20?C on the Mediterranean coast (maximal 31?C) and 28?C in Assouan (maximal 50?C!). In the desert, extreme climatic conditions are rather obvious - incandescent the day, icy at night. Alexandria is the Egyptian city which most receives precipitation - about 19 cm a year-, whereas Assouan has only about 10 mm every five years. In March - April, the khamsin - a dry, warm and very dusty wind - blows from the desert of Libya at the speed of 150 km/h: the sky then takes a dark orange tint and air is full of dust, turning any outing into an ordeal.
