The climate of Port Said (Egypt)
People who visit Port Said mostly do this because they are on a
Mediterranean Cruise ship that docks here. From here tourists can
travel to Cairo in 2.5 to 3.5 hours by bus to see the sights in the
capital. The city of Port Said itself has not many sights for tourists
to enjoy. Because the city is located on both the Suez Canal and the
Mediterranean Sea it is an important port where many goods pass.
Visitors of Port Said should expect warm summers, mild winters and
little precipitation. Only during the winter months some rain may
fall. During the summer the weather is dry and rainfall is scarce.
Filth doesn’t get washed away because of the lack of rain during the
summer. As the summer progresses the stench of rubbish, urine and
animal faeces gets more and more unbearable. Mediterranean
temperatures also contribute to this.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
