Tel Aviv - Post Report Question and Answers

What is the overall climate: is it extremely hot or cold, wet or dry, at any time of year, for example?

Rainy season is from December to March. It's usually 60s-70s these days with spurts of intense rain and wind. However, most the time it's sunny. From April to November it hardly rains at all, always sunny. It gets very hot July-September. - Jan 2022


Extremely pleasant. Think San Diego. From April to November it is sunny and rarely dips below 70 degrees, late June/July/August are hot and humid but if you're from the East Coast it doesn't feel like much of an adjustment. November and December are mild with a bit of rain, January-March it might dip into the 50s (colder in Jerusalem) and occasionally rainy and gray but you can leave your heavy winter coats at home unless you plan on traveling to Europe or somewhere colder. One thing no one told us is that the winter storms can be pretty intense. Strong winds, roads easily flood. These rarely if ever last for more than a few hours, but don't be surprised when you're at home on a January night and you feel 30 mph winds banging against your windows. All that said, if you like the sun and warm weather then you will be very happy here. - Apr 2021


From July to September, it is too hot and sometimes humid. In the winter, it can rain (last year it was about 2x a week but I've heard it's not usually that much). When it rains, it can be quite stormy and last all day. The rest of the time the weather is beautiful - always sunny, and temperate. It is much greener here than I expected - a lot of areas are irrigated. - Oct 2019


Tel Aviv has perfect weather. It's generally nice year round, with what would be considered "spring" or "fall" weather in the Eastern U.S. for most of the year. July and August are especially hot, and January and February can be chilly and rainy. We kept our windows open for the majority of the year. - Nov 2018


It’s perfect weather. Hottest and most humidity in July and August. Perfect weather -- rarely above 85F degrees -- the rest of the year, but warm, so you have to like warm weather. The average winter temps are in the high 60s F and can get into the 50s F at night. It rains periodically throughout the day usually from December to February. - Aug 2017


Pretty nice though from May until October it's pretty warm (hot even in July Aug and September). This is a beach town with weather very similar to Miami. Can rain in the winter. Typically never colder than the upper 40s in the winter. Weather is a definite plus here! - Oct 2016


Weather is great here. March to June is just awesome, July gets hot and August gets HOTTER, then September to February is may rain a little and get a little cool/cold - Jul 2016

Winter is mild, with lows into the 40s, highs typically in the 60s, although we have had a few freak 80+ days this winter. Rain is a possibility from about November to March, with heavy storms coming off the Mediterranean lasting a few days. Summer is very humid, with highs in the 80s and 90s. - Feb 2009
