Eilat hava durumu: Kasım

November in Aqaba is variable - regulars describe the end of the month as anything from cool to warm - but the water is the constant, sitting near 77F for most of the year, and the answer to whether you can still swim and dive is yes. What makes the diving here unusual is the geography: almost no waves, clear water, and reef a metre or two off the beach rather than a boat ride away. The local caveat is the wind down Wadi Araba, which blows year-round and turns genuinely cold as winter comes on, emptying the waterfront even on a mild day. The record: 28.6C days, 17.7C nights, humidity 53 percent, effectively no precipitation days, 9.5 hours of sun and a 25.4C Red Sea.

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.
