Sharm El Sheikh Weather in July 2027 & How Hot Is It Really?

Sharm El Sheikh weather in July earns top marks for the sea and the sun and a low mark for heat. Daytime highs run from 35 to 38°C and nights stay near 25 to 28°C. The sea sits at about 28°C and rain does not fall. Few travellers need more than that to decide, but the details change how the week feels.

The figures come from long-term climate averages and not from a forecast for 2027. The planning advice comes from the team at Bastet Travel.

Sharm El Sheikh Weather in July & The Report Card at a Glance

Grades by Subject

These grades are our judgement and not an official rating. They reflect how comfortable the month is for a typical visitor who plans around the heat.

The Numbers Behind the Grades

A set of 30 year normals reported by a travel publication gives a July high of about 37.9°C and a low of about 27.8°C for Sharm. That is the hottest and warmest-night resort on the Red Sea coast.

Why the Sources Give Different Marks

Sources do not agree on a single figure. One travel site lists a high of 35°C and a low of 25°C. A holiday company shows 33°C on its summary card but describes highs around 37°C in the text. Another guide says highs frequently reach the upper 30s and can climb higher. The differences come from different weather stations and years.

Use a safe rule for July Sharm El Sheikh weather. Plan with 37°C for the afternoon and 27°C for the night and expect hotter days. Treat every figure as the centre of a range and not as a promise.

Heat: Grade D

Sharm El Sheikh weather in July is the hardest month of the year for heat. Afternoon highs reach the upper thirties and the nights hold at 27°C or more, so your body gets little time to recover. The sea moderates the coast slightly, but the stony ground and bare hills around the town hold heat.

How to raise the grade: Treat 11 am to 4 pm as a closed window. Be in water or in air conditioning. Place anything strenuous before 10 am or after 5 pm. Drink water before you feel thirsty and add salt at meals.

Sea: Grade A

Water Temperature and Comfort

The sea is at its best. Weather2travel lists about 28°C and another guide says the Red Sea is thoroughly warmed by July so cold water is not a concern. Visibility on the reefs is usually excellent. Most swimmers need no wetsuit. Many divers wear a thin suit or a rash vest for sun and reef protection.

The Three Short Swims Rule

One guide suggests spreading several short swims through the day instead of one long beach session. That fits July. Swim early at about eight, swim again at four and swim once more near sunset. Between those sessions rest in shade. Each swim resets your body temperature and keeps the heat manageable.

How to keep the grade: Choose a resort where the beach and the pool and the shade and the restaurant sit close together. Browse Swimming and Diving options, and see diving holidays Egypt for stays built around the reef. A Glass Boat or SeaScope works for anyone who wants to see the reef without swimming.

Sun and UV: Grade C

July is almost cloudless. About 13 hours of sunshine fall each day and the UV index is 11 or higher. Water does not block UV so a snorkel day burns the back and the neck quickly.

How to raise the grade: Apply high factor reef-safe sunscreen before you leave the room and again after every swim. Wear a rash vest and a hat on boat days. Wear sunglasses with UV protection. Ask boat operators about shaded seating and the number of water entries. A midday break for lunch or rest makes the afternoon feel fresh for more swimming.

Breeze and Humidity: Grade B

Humidity averages about 48 percent on one site and another source calls the heat humid. The truth sits between dry desert air and the sticky feel of the delta. Red Sea breezes help keep the coast comfortable. The same breeze can make the afternoon sea choppy and it can hide sunburn.

How to raise the grade: Take boat trips in the morning when the sea is calmest. Use the afternoon breeze on a shaded terrace and not on an open deck. Carry a scarf for dust and sun.

Rain and Sky: Grade A

Rain is described as exceptionally rare and the monthly figure is zero. The sky is clear on almost every day. This is the one subject where nothing needs fixing. Pack no umbrella and plan with confidence.

Value and Crowds: Grade A

July is low season for most of Egypt. Guides report that few tourists visit and that accommodation costs fall, though Red Sea beach resorts stay popular with budget travellers. That means better rates and quieter reefs and easier restaurant tables.

How to keep the grade: Book a hotel with strong air conditioning even if it costs more. Cheap cooling can ruin a July trip. Browse Egypt holidays in July and summer holidays Egypt for ideas. For comfort see 5 star Egypt holidays and Red Sea holidays Egypt.

Nights: Grade B

Nights sit near 25 to 28°C with a clear sky. Outdoor dinners and evening walks are comfortable after sunset. Guides note that evenings stay warm enough for dining outside. The small drawback is that warm nights make sleeping harder in a weak room.

How to raise the grade: Test the air conditioning on arrival and ask for a change if it is weak. A cold shower and a light meal help you sleep.

How July Sharm El Sheikh Weather Compares With June

Raising Your Grade | A Day Plan for Sharm Weather July

Early Reef Mornings

Take the first boat of the day. The sea is calm and the air is at its coolest. Ras Mohammed and Tiran Island are the classic destinations. Compare Speed Boat and Pirates Boat and Boat ride options.

The Midday Block

Return to the hotel by noon. Eat a long lunch and rest in air conditioning. A Turkish Bath is a pleasant indoor way to spend a hot hour. Do not book a full-day excursion unless it offers something you really want.

Evenings Out

Go out after sunset. Naama Bay and SOHO Square offer restaurants and entertainment. The Old Market is good for crafts and food. A Safari with a Quad Bike or Camel Ride fits the late afternoon. See Egypt Desert Safari Tours and Sharm El Sheikh Tours.

The Mountain at Night

The night climb of Jabal Mousa avoids the sun entirely and finishes with a sunrise at the summit. The climb is physical so go only if you are fit and carry water. Visit St. Catherine's Monastery before the heat builds and plan a full rest afternoon.

Who Should Pick Sharm in July

Pick it if: You want the warmest sea of the year and low prices and reliable sun. You are happy to rest in air conditioning from noon to four. You are a diver or a snorkeller or a sun lover.

Think again if: Heat makes you ill or miserable. You travel with a baby or an older relative who struggles in high temperatures. You need a full day of land sightseeing. For those cases read Egypt temp in June or look at later options such as Egypt holidays in August and Egypt September holidays.

Families can compare Egypt family holidays and best family holidays in Egypt. Couples can look at couples holidays in Egypt. If you want to add a Nile leg see Nile cruise and Sharm El Sheikh holiday and keep the cruise short.

The July Calendar

• July 1: Hurghada and Sharm sunrise is around 4:50 am and sunset around 6:43 pm.
• July 23: National holiday marking the 1952 revolution, which can affect opening hours and traffic.
• July 31: Sunrise comes at about 5:05 am and sunset at about 6:33 pm.

Eid al-Adha is expected in mid May 2027 so it should not overlap with July this year. The Islamic New Year falls around June 6 or 7. Check dates closer to travel since they depend on the moon sighting.

Heat Safety Notes

Heat problems build slowly. Rest in shade when you feel dizzy or headachy. Cool your neck and wrists with water. Confusion and nausea and a lack of sweating are warning signs. Cool down at once and seek medical help.

Children and older travellers need extra breaks and more water. Choose a hotel with strong air conditioning and shade by the pool.
