When to go Algeria ?
Because of its size and geography, Algeria has several climates, and can be visited in any season, depending on the region you wish to visit. Trips to Algeria's deep south and desert are best organized between October and April, to avoid the heat of summer. The north coast enjoys a Mediterranean climate and can therefore be visited all year round; it can also be very hot in summer, but this is the best season for swimming in the Mediterranean.
In the north, Algeria enjoys a warm Mediterranean climate in summer, cooler without being cold in winter (except at high altitude where it can snow and freeze). In the south, temperatures are very high in the central part (up to 50°C in In-Salah) to bearable in Tamanrasset at 1 500 m altitude. In winter, the temperature differences between day and night can be very important, from 25 to 0 °C. Average sunshine (in hours) per year: coast (2650), highlands (3000), Sahara (3500).
