Interesting Fact about Israel Weather<\/strong> – There are not well defined quarterly divisions of seasons like June 21st, September 21st, December 21st and March 21st such as I am accustomed to in the US. If you ask someone in Israel when the season begins, it is always an approximate date.<\/p>\n What to wear:<\/strong> a light water resistant jacket or sweatshirt. Those of you who are always cold might want to bring a heavier coat. Since insulation indoors can be an issue, you might need it then! If you are planning to do a significant amount of walking, I strongly recommend water resistant shoes.<\/p>\n What to wear<\/strong>: On some of the days you may want a long t-shirt and light jacket or sweatshirt, while on other days a short sleeve t-shirt will do. So, Bring a good range of generally light clothes. At night you will need a light jacket.<\/p>\n What to wear:<\/strong> Short, light, no sleeve, anything you can think of to cope with the heat. Definitely a sun hat and sunglasses and I recommend comfortable walking sandals. Also I recommend you pack an extra shirt if you are planning a full day walking tour.<\/p>\n What to wear:<\/strong> Long sleeve shirts and a light Jacket or sweatshirt is all you need probably just early or late in the day.<\/p>\n During the month of August, the temperature in Tel-Aviv can rise to 42 degrees centigrade (108 degrees Fahrenheit mixed with up to 95% humidity) which makes the apparent temperature considerably higher. In Jerusalem the temperatures can be high but without the extreme humidity. In Eilat temperatures may even climb up to 50 degrees (122 Fahrenheit), but without the humidity. You have heard the phrase ‘It’s not the heat but the humidity’. Well, 122 Degrees is hot regardless.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As a Midwesterner, I am used to four full seasons, but the weather in Israel is not quite as seasonal as some of the Northern States in the U.S. such as Cleveland, Ohio (my hometown). Since Israel is influenced strongly by European immigrants, locals call the short transitional month of April and October ‘Spring’ (Aviv in Hebrew) and ‘fall’ (Stav). With unique local wildlife and flowers in full bloom, these periods can be quite beautiful and indeed very comfortable for travel (though very crowded as well). Passover<\/a> is actually known as ‘The Spring Holiday’ (hag ha’Aviv), and October usually marks the arrival of the high holidays- Yom Kippur<\/a>, Rosh Hashanah<\/a>, and Sukot .<\/p>\n Cold:<\/strong> As you can imagine, this is not usually an issue. Occasional winter snowfall in the mountainous regions is a welcome change of scenery for most – there is actually a decent ski resort in the Hermon mountains<\/a>, though experienced skiers and snowboarders will only appreciate the slopes for a few days after a storm as the snow melts very quickly.<\/p>\n Hot<\/span>: <\/strong>temperatures that can exceed 40 degrees centigrade (110 Fahrenheit) in the Southern Desert and Eilat.<\/p>\n Chamseen: The Arabic word for extreme dry desert weather. These are hot dry winds from the Arab peninsula (often accompanied by dust storms) that send temperatures soaring, particularly in spring and late summer. This is easy to remember as the Hebrew word for hot is Cham \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Israel Weather<\/strong> – I hope my recommendations have provided you some valuable tips on what type of weather to expect when visiting Israel as well as what to wear.<\/p>\n More about Israel<\/a> from Israel Travel Secrets<\/a>.<\/p>\n Wishing you a pleasant visit.
