[[File:PikiWiki_Israel_52846_cities_in_israel.jpg|thumb|[[Rainstorm]] in Tel Aviv]]
Tel Aviv has a [[Mediterranean climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]]: Csa),<ref>{{cite web |url=http://en.climate-data.org/location/3471/ |title=Climate: Tel Aviv-Yafo – Temperature, Climate graph, Climate table |website=Climate-data.org |access-date=29 November 2014 |archive-date=5 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141205070719/http://en.climate-data.org/location/3471/ |url-status=live }}</ref> and enjoys plenty of sunshine throughout the year. Most precipitation falls in the form of rain between the months of October and April, with intervening dry summers, and there is almost no rainfall from June to September. The average annual temperature is {{cvt|20.9|C}}, and the average sea temperature is {{cvt|18–20|C}} during the winter, and {{cvt|24–29|C}} during the summer. The city averages {{cvt|528|mm|inch|sp=us|1}} of precipitation annually.

Summers in Tel Aviv last about five months, from June to October. August, the warmest month, averages a high of {{cvt|30.6|C}}, and a low of {{cvt|25|C}}. The high relative humidity due to the location of the city by the Mediterranean Sea, in a combination with the high temperatures, creates a [[Thermal comfort|thermal discomfort]] during the summer. Summer low temperatures in Tel Aviv seldom drop below {{cvt|20|C}}.

Winters are mild and wet, with most of the annual precipitation falling within the months of December, January and February as intense rainfall and thunderstorms. In January, the coolest month, the average maximum temperature is {{cvt|17.6|C}}, the minimum temperature averages {{cvt|10.2|C}}. During the coldest days of winter, temperatures may vary between {{cvt|8|C}} and {{cvt|12|C}}. Both freezing temperatures and snowfall are extremely rare in the city.

Autumns and springs are characterized by sharp temperature changes, with heat waves that might be created due to hot and dry air masses that arrive from the nearby deserts. During heatwaves in autumn and springs, temperatures usually climb up to {{cvt|35|C}} and even up to {{cvt|40|C}}, accompanied with exceptionally low humidity. An average day during autumn and spring has a high of {{cvt|23|C}} to {{cvt|25|C}}, and a low of {{cvt|15|C}} to {{cvt|18|C}}.

The highest recorded temperature in Tel Aviv was {{cvt|46.5|C}} on 17 May 1916, and the lowest is {{cvt|−1.9|C}} on 7 February 1950, during a cold wave that brought the [[Snow in Israel#History|only recorded snowfall]] in Tel Aviv.
