Weather in Tel Aviv Year Round

What’s the weather in Tel Aviv like?
Well, if you were under the impression that it is mostly hot and muggy – you weren’t too far off. However, this isn’t the case all year long. Check out the general overview below to know what to expect as far as the weather in Tel Aviv is concerned:

Summer: Jun - Sep

As a guy who spent many summers in this city I must be honest with you – summer in Tel Aviv is brutal. Temperatures are somewhere between 80 – 100 Fahrenheit or up to 35 (or more) Celsius. But forget about the heat the humidity is the real deal! With up to 90% humidity you feel like you were tossed into a soup just walking down the street for a short while - especially during July-Aug.

But it’s not all that BAD!!! The good news is there is A/C everywhere: hotels, shopping centers, taxis etc. The best place to be if you are out – is the beach. Sit down and relax under a beach umbrella. Bring with you or order a cold watermelon and refresh yourself in the water every now and then and just enjoy the summer in Tel Aviv.

By the way – the above weather conditions are also typical of other central coast cities in Israel such as Herzliya & Netanya.

Autumn: Oct – Nov

The autumn is a short, almost unnoticeable, season in Tel Aviv. Mostly you will find yourself in a t-shirt as the weather in Tel Aviv will be quite pleasant and even warm. However, you might get some rain towards the end of Nov & the nights will get cooler too.

Winter: Dec – Feb

Winter in Tel Aviv is pretty mild usually, especially in comparison to most Western European countries & the northern states of the US or Canada.

However, the winter in Tel Aviv is quite different than the summer in the city. The temperatures are mostly between 40-60 degrees Fahrenheit which is about 5-15 Celsius. Not too bad really, but it is definitely the off season as far as the beaches in Tel Aviv. Make sure you bring an umbrella with you as this is the rainy season – it doesn’t rain much in Tel Aviv but when it does…

Spring: Mar – May

I think spring time in Tel Aviv is the best time of the year to visit the city. The weather is usually perfect – you can expect clear skies and mild temperatures of about 60-80 Fahrenheit or 15-25 Celsius. If you like to spend time at the beach towards the end of May or even early June you can enjoy the beach fully while still not getting totally burnt.
