February and March have comfortable daytime temperatures but winds from the Sahara can bring dust storms (khamsin) in spring. April and May mark the transition to summer heat. Temperatures climb quickly, often reaching 35C to 38C by May. June, July, and August are extremely hot, regularly above 38C to 42C. The Nile Valley concentrates heat and humidity in summer.
