Traveller notes on Eilat in February

Notes from nearby Aqaba (7 km away)

Eilat doesn't have its own notes for February yet — these are about Aqaba, close enough to share the season.

Regulars are specific Aqaba runs a genuine 6 to 8 degrees Celsius warmer than most of the rest of Jordan this month, a real draw for visitors escaping colder weather elsewhere in the country or back home. Our row backs that mild, genuinely dry read, 23.9C over 11.9C nights feeling 11C, with rain light at 7.8mm across 1.4 days and humidity at 54 percent. Regulars are consistent the sea itself stays genuinely cold despite the pleasant air, swimming a matter of personal tolerance rather than a given even on a warm, sunny afternoon. This remains one of the better months overall for exploring the town and nearby sites without the summer's heat. The sea sits at 21.4C. The record: 9.9 hours of sun, a 12.8 kph wind and AQI 44.

Other months in Eilat

Forum posters describe late April in Eilat as bringing daytime highs in the low-to-mid 30sC, with a real chance of a sharav (hot desert wind) pushing temperatures toward 40C on the hottest days. Posters cite sea temperatures early in the month still on the cool side, around 21-22C, warm enough for swimming by month's end but cool enough that many snorkelers still opt for at least a 'shorty' wetsuit. Posters consistently rate April through June as the sweet spot for a Eilat visit - warm enough for the beach, not yet the full heat of summer, and still cool enough in the evenings for comfortable hiking in the surrounding desert. Posters generally rate April as close to ideal for Eilat, good beach weather paired with hiking-friendly evenings.

October is the forum's sweet spot for Eilat: the sea is still at summer temperature, about 26°C, while the air has come off the summer peak — though coming off the peak here still means an average high of 32°C, against cool nights near 19. No rain at all. For diving that combination is the entire point: warm water, bearable surface conditions. It is also after the Jewish holidays, so the town is not crowded. Late October into early November is what regulars name as the ideal window.
