Tel Aviv's Mediterranean climate is the kind travelers dream of, but timing still matters. I packed for July beaches and got 30°C with 70% humidity — beautiful but intense between noon and 4pm. Shift beach time to early morning or after 5pm. The smart windows are April-May and October-November: 22-25°C, low rain, perfect for both beach and city walking. December-February brings 13°C and the only meaningful rain (100mm monthly). Skip August if you hate crowds — it's peak domestic travel. Pack reef-safe sunscreen year-round; the UV hits 9+ from May to September. A light jacket is essential November-March for evenings.
