July was characterized by warmer-than-average temperatures, a trend particularly pronounced during daytime hours, with temperatures exceeding the mean by approximately 1.5°C, and in the Jerusalem area, by as much as 2.0°C. Nighttime hours were also warmer than average, albeit to a lesser extent, particularly in the valleys and plains where temperatures surpassed the average by less than 1.0°C. Most days of the month registered above-average temperatures. However, a distinct difference was observed between the first half of the month, which featured slightly above-average temperatures and generally pleasant nights, and the second half, which was significantly warmer than average and was marked by a prolonged heatwave. In a historical context, this year's July ranks as the sixth warmest in the past 75 years, though it was less warm than July 2024, which holds the record as the warmest since the commencement of measurements.
