Israel’s weather today, as shown in the live forecast above, varies sharply from the Mediterranean coast to the arid Negev desert, with mild winters and hot, dry summers defining the year.
What is the typical weather in Israel by month?
Israel has a Mediterranean climate along the coast, turning semi-arid to arid inland. Summers (June to September) are hot and virtually rainless, while winters (December to February) bring cooler temperatures and most of the annual rainfall, particularly in the north.
- Summer (June–September): Coastal highs around 30°C (86°F) in Tel Aviv, with humidity; inland areas like Jerusalem see 28–32°C (82–90°F).
- Winter (December–February): Jerusalem averages 6–12°C (43–54°F), with occasional snow; Tel Aviv stays milder at 9–17°C (48–63°F).
- Spring & Autumn: Pleasant transition seasons, ideal for travel, with temperatures in the low 20s°C (70s°F).
What is the weather in Israel today and tomorrow?
For real-time conditions, check the live forecast above. Generally, today’s weather in Israel will reflect the seasonal pattern: clear skies and heat in summer, or cooler, wetter spells in winter. Tomorrow’s outlook follows similar trends, with coastal breezes moderating Tel Aviv’s heat.
- Coastal cities (Tel Aviv, Haifa): Humid summers, mild winters; sea breezes often lower afternoon highs.
- Inland (Jerusalem): Drier, with greater daily temperature swings; nights can be cool year-round.
- Desert (Eilat, Dead Sea): Extremely hot in summer (40°C/104°F+), warm in winter; very low rainfall.
Does it snow in Israel?
Yes, but rarely at sea level. Jerusalem and higher elevations in the Galilee and Golan Heights see occasional snowfall in winter, typically a few days per year. The coast and desert areas almost never receive snow.
When is the best time to visit Israel for good weather?
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) offer the most comfortable conditions: warm, sunny days with low humidity. These months avoid the intense summer heat and the cooler, wetter winter, making them ideal for touring both coastal and inland sites.
How hot does it get in the desert in Israel?
In the Negev and around the Dead Sea, summer temperatures frequently exceed 40°C (104°F) in July and August. Winters are much milder, with daytime highs around 20–25°C (68–77°F). Always carry water and sun protection when visiting.
