4.2. Climate trends
The decadal trends in seasonally averaged temperatures for Egypt between 1960 and 2010 indicate that
there is a spatially consistent warming signal for temperature over Egypt 57 . Figure 19 describes both summer
consistent warming (June to August) and winter (December to February).
In the city of Luxor – Governorate of Luxor and the city of Hurghada – Governorate of Red Sea, there is a
warming period during summer of 0.25 °C to 0.5 °C per decade compared with that during winter of 0.05 °C
to 0.1°C per decade as shown in Figure 20. In line with the increase in the mean temperature, warm nights
have become more frequent. It increased by +2 to +3.5 per cent per decade, whereas cool nights have
occurred less frequent due to the decrease by - 1 to - 2 per cent per decade as shown in Figure 21.
Regarding the rainfall pattern, the annual total precipitation over the period 1960 to 2003 decreased
relatively from the baseline (1961-1990) by -1 mm to -15 mm in the city of Hurghada – Governorate of Red
Sea as shown in below.
