Field notes
Milder than Cairo year-round thanks to the sea breeze — summers cap around 27–28°C rather than 35°C+. The structural local weather event is the winter rainy season (December–February, the wettest stretch of any Egyptian city). Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are the postcard windows.
