Algeria Snapshot

Algeria is a tale of two climates. The milder, Mediterranean-style north and the fierce desert climes of the south. Generally, the hottest months are May to September; the coldest month is January; the wettest months in the north are December and January, while in the south, rainfall is extremely rare at any time of year. Even in summer, nights can get very cold in the desert so be sure to pack warm clothes no matter what time of year you travel.
