Погода: Эйлат, март

The board splits on March here and the split is instructive. One side says Aqaba runs five degrees or more above the rest of Jordan and that March is comfortably warm; the other says it was too cold for the beach. The reconciliation they offer is wind rather than temperature: a strong draught comes down Wadi Araba from the north, which makes lying on the sand unpleasant even on a warm day, and snorkelling is best done in a wetsuit. Our row supports both readings - 27.3C air that feels like 25C, a 21.4C sea, and nights down at 15.3C at 46 percent humidity. Rain is negligible at 8.5mm across 1.6 days. The record: 10.8 hours of sun, a 14.2 kph average wind and AQI 49.

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.
