What to expect
Daytime
Hot days in Israel. Ruins, markets and hills are a morning job. Midday sightseeing is how people remember August for the wrong reason.
Nights stay warm. Air-con, if you can get it, is part of the brief. A jumper for August in Israel is almost always a waste of bag space.
Rain
Rain is not the story in Israel in August. Pack for sun. A shower would be news, not a plan.
Do not build the trip around weather windows. Build it around shade if it is hot, and around getting outside if it is not.
Evening
Evenings stay warm.
What to pack
Sun protection
A layer for cooler evenings
