Ten-year averages for this calendar month. A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts it. The model these figures come from drizzles more than a rain gauge, the more so the warmer the month, so its days count from 2 mm, rising to 5 mm in the hottest.

Weather read at the centre, on the east bank, 7 km from the airport (LXR): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

How busy it gets

June: quiet. Busiest from November to January; quietest in May, June, July and September.

Public holidays in June

Holidays crowd a place out and push fares up around them; they count toward the crowd score above.

What to pack

  • Light, loose clothes: daily highs average 41°C.
  • Plan the middle of the day indoors: 30 days a month pass 35°C.
  • Sun protection: about 13 hours of sunshine a day.

Each line is a threshold over the ten-year figures above, not advice from anywhere else.

Before you go

Type C and F plugs at 220 V. Drives on the right. The currency is the Egyptian pound. UK Foreign Office: avoid all travel to parts, avoid all but essential travel to parts. Everything for Egypt: cost of living, languages, emergency numbers and health.

On arrival in Luxor: the apps, paying, getting around, tipping and the emergency numbers.
