Giza climate: monthly averages

Everything below is collected in one spot so you do not have to cross-check Giza climate: monthly averages by hand. The gap between Jan and Jul is 17.8 C here: 12.1 C against 29.9 C. Precipitation peaks in Nov (0.56 mm/day) and bottoms out in Aug (0.00 mm/day), so a 2x difference between the two. Taken together that is roughly 60 mm of rain a year for the grid cell. Every run re-reads the source and only rewrites this page when a figure actually changed. Exact monthly values are in the table; links below cover adjacent locations and years.

What the Giza climate table shows

Values are multi-decadal climatological averages for the 30.0094, 31.2086 grid cell, not a single year. Rain is the daily mean, so a value of 2.00 mm/day is about 60 mm across a 30-day month. Averages smooth over extremes, so use them for planning rather than for what to pack for next Tuesday.

Frequently asked questions

How much rain is 0.56 mm/day in a month?

Rain is recorded as a daily mean, so 0.56 mm/day is roughly 17 mm across a 30-day month.

Does Giza get the same every year?

Close to it. Averaging decades smooths variation, so treat these as typical rather than guaranteed.
