Oran in August
Not the best time
August is Oran's toughest month with brutal heat and sky-high prices. Only die-hard sun worshippers and beach addicts should attempt this month.
Weather
August continues July's punishing heat but often feels even more oppressive due to increased humidity. Zero rainfall means no relief from the relentless sun. Even evenings stay uncomfortably warm well into the night.

All Months
March through May gives you perfect weather — warm days around 22°C without the crushing summer heat. September through November works just as well, with calm seas and comfortable temperatures for walking the hilly streets. Summer gets brutal, with July temperatures hitting 35°C and humidity from the Mediterranean making it feel worse. Winter brings rain and cooler temps around 15°C, but also fewer crowds and lower hotel prices. The shoulder seasons let you enjoy the beaches at Ain el Turck without the August crowds of Algerian families on holiday. Spring brings wildflowers to the surrounding hills, while fall offers the clearest views from Fort Santa Cruz.
