What's the weather like in Marsa Alam in September?

Temperature

Marsa AlamEgypt, begins to cool down ever so slightly in September, when the peak summer season comes to an end. During this time of year, the resort enjoys similar weather to Nabq Bay, with temperatures rising up to a sizzling 34°C in the afternoons. Temperatures drop down to around a still warm 25°C after the sun sets. Both high and low temperatures are one degree lower than they were in August, but they still are very high by all accounts. They do decrease slightly in the course of the month, though, both by about 2 degrees. The overall average temperature in September is 30°C, the same as in June and only one degree less than the annual maximum in July and August. The temperature of the Red Sea has also dropped one degree since the previous month, but still averages an extremely warm 29°C, the second warmest sea temperature in the whole year.

Sunshine Hours

Another one-digit decrease is observed in the amount of sunshine per day. The average day in September receives 12 beautiful hours of sunshine, which makes this the fifth sunniest month in the year after the previous four months. 12 sunshine hours per day is still a lot, thougho no complaints there! This small decrease is mostly due to the shortening of the days and the higher percentage of cloud cover.

September 1 is the longest day of the month with 12.38 daylight hours. With 11.55 hours of daylight, September 30 is the shortest day of the month. Considering the fact that there are 12 hours of sunshine per day on average, you can conclude that a day in September is still gloriously sunny.

Cloud cover is at its annual high during the first week of September, when it averages 66%. It then drops to 56% toward the end of the month. These numbers mean that a typical day in September is usually partly cloudy. The sky is, however, never overcast.

Rain

Rainfall is virtually non-existent in the resort all-year round and September is no exception to that rule. There is no rainfall at allainfall is not observed on any day this month and not a single raindrop hits the desert floor or the beaches. Make sure to bring an adequate supply of sun cream, a hat, a parasol and swimwear when visiting Marsa Alam in September. You will need it.
