Best time to visit Algeria

Algeria is one of the largest countries in Africa. The best time to visit Algeria is generally from November to April. However, the climate varies greatly from north to south. The northern coastal area has a favorable Mediterranean climate, while the highlands south of the coast have hot summers and cold winters with little rain.

The southern part has a typical desert climate with hot dry summer days and mild rainy winters. This region is best avoided during the summer period unless you can stand the heat well.

Sirocco winds

Algeria's weather is influenced by sirocco winds. These winds, sometimes called "chili" in Algeria, are caused by hot air coming directly from the Sahara desert. This can last from half a day to sometimes four or five days. Visibility is poor and the fine dust can cause breathing difficulties.

It is very hot here, the temperature exceeds 40 degrees. However, if you like hot and dry climates, this is ideal.— This text has been automatically translated into English

Weather Experience: Excellent StarStarStarStarStar

Sunny, but not too hot, perfect for sightseeing. However, the lack of beaches and the sea does not make this an ideal summer swimming destination. The heat required constant hydration, especially in the afternoon. Less suitable for outdoor activities. Temperatures ranged between -1° and -10°C. Despite the cold, the clear skies were breathtaking at times. Temperatures regularly rose above 30 degrees, perfect for a beach vacation. We enjoyed hours of swimming in the incredibly clear sea. Unforgettable!— This text has been automatically translated into English
