Eilat weather in September

Regulars are consistent that this town runs meaningfully hotter and more humid than the rest of Jordan, roughly ten degrees Fahrenheit above the national average, and specifically call it out as the one place in the country where the heat carries real humidity rather than the dry desert warmth found elsewhere. Our row backs the extreme heat directly, 38.2C reading as a real 38C, over 25.6C nights, with rain essentially absent, 0.1mm and zero rainy days, and humidity at 50 percent - notably damp for a Red Sea desert location. Regulars visiting Petra and Amman the same trip describe those inland stops as comfortable while Aqaba alone felt oppressive for even a single overnight stay. The sea offers real relief at a warm 27.5C. The record: 11.2 hours of sun, a 16.1 kph wind and AQI 53.

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.
