One of the major attractions of Egypt to foreign tourists and investors is the weather. The coastal resorts along the Red Sea have year round warm weather. Days are commonly warm or hot, and nights are cool. There are only two seasons in Egypt: a mild winter from November to April and a hot summer from May to October. The only differences between the seasons are variations in daytime temperatures and changes in prevailing winds. In the coastal regions, temperatures range between an average minimum of 14° C in winter and an average maximum of 30° C in summer. Egypt receives fewer than eighty millimeters of precipitation annually in most areas. Most rain falls along the coast, but even the wettest area, around Alexandria, receives only about 200 millimeters of precipitation per year.
