What are summer sea and weather conditions like in Sharm El Sheikh (heat, jellyfish, red flags)?

TL;DR
In summer (July-August) the sea warms up and jellyfish/marine life noticeably increase; red flag warnings are rare (e.g., only 1 day out of a 5-day stay in mid-July); air temperatures can hit 50°C+, so pick a hotel with several pools.
What the community said
At the hotel's two small lagoons, during a 5-day stay the red flag was raised only once (morning of July 16); the rest of the time swimming conditions were calm and fine.

As the water warms up in summer, marine life (including jellyfish) noticeably increases compared to previous seasons.

In late August, daytime temperatures hit around +54°C (130°F), but it was manageable at the Albatros hotel since pools and water features are spread throughout the property, letting guests move between them all day.
