Temperature of the Dead Sea

The temperature of the dead sea pleases holidaymakers all year round. Consider the climate of the Dead Sea, the temperature of air and water. And also we will choose the ideal time of year for rest and treatment on the shores of the Dead Sea.

The Dead Sea or the Salt Sea is a unique natural phenomenon that is located in Israel. The sea is the lowest point of the globe, because its surface is -400 meters below the world ocean. It is rightfully considered the most saline lake. It has no outlet, therefore it is thermal, evaporating huge amounts of water into hot dry air. Even on the coldest winter days, 2 mm of water evaporates from the surface of the sea.

But the sea is amazing not only for its beauty and uniqueness, but also for medicinal properties and a very rich composition. So, about 33% of the Dead Sea is salt, which is the reason for the absence of life in it. Only bacteria live in the sea, which do not perish in salt water. Since the evaporation of water is great, like the temperature of the air in the valley, the flow exceeds the arrival of water in the sea. Because of this, the Dead Sea gradually decreases. So, for the last 100 years the coastline has gone down to 40-50 meters. According to estimates, scientists, the sea will completely dry after 700-900 years.

• Since the sea has medicinal properties, medical tourism is developed on its coast. Thousands of people from all over the world come to the coast of the sea for the healing and prevention of various diseases. The sea has an increased mineralization, the water is so dense that it keeps any weight afloat. It is recommended not to stay in the sea for more than 20 minutes, after which it is necessary to wash off the salt solution with fresh water.
• The weather is sunny all year round. Rains are rare, and, as a rule, in the winter season. The sea is in the hollow and surrounded by mountains, so there are no strong winds on the shore. The air is saturated with bromine, which has a beneficial effect on the body and speeds up the recovery process.
• Another amazing fact of the Dead Sea is that regardless of the weather, the sea can not get a sunburn. This is due to the fact that harmful ultraviolet radiation does not reach such a low level. And because of the strong evaporation, a thick layer forms above the water, which functions as a filter.

The temperature of the Dead Sea water

The temperature of the Dead Sea water is quite high throughout the year. Thanks to a special climate, the water temperature, like air, keeps at a high level, that is, without sharp changes. At the Dead Sea, a clear, clear sky and rather dry air. Annually about 50 mm of precipitation falls here, which does not affect the temperature of the water.

Dead Sea water is a liquid that is a concentrated acidic, alkaline and brine solution. In the waters of the sea practically all the salts of Mendeleyev's chemical table are dissolved. Water contains ions of sodium, magnesium, bromine, calcium and sodium, which play an important role in the human body. Lymph and human blood have a trace element composition similar to the sea water.

• Potassium salts, which evaporate from sea water and do not precipitate. But thanks to modern technology they managed to crystallize. On the shores of the sea, minerals such as potassium, bromine, and carbonate are mined.
• The Dead Sea salt is a mixture of minerals and trace elements, which are ten times higher than in the waters of the oceans and seas. The main part of the water is: sodium chloride, magnesium, sodium, calcium, potassium, bromine. Each of the elements plays an important role in the vital activity of living microorganisms.
• Thanks to the evaporation of bromine (a natural relaxant), the sea leaves fatigue and stress, the treatment is effective.

The temperature of the Dead Sea water depends on the season. So in the winter months the temperature keeps at this level: December +23, January +21, February +19. In the winter season, sea water is more saturated with minerals and trace elements than in the summer months. In spring the water temperature becomes higher: March +21, April +22, May +25. In the summer months the water warms up to such marks: June +28, July and August +30. In autumn the water in the sea is warmest: September +31, October +30, November +28. The Dead Sea pleases with warm waters and is always ready to receive visitors for rest and treatment.

Air temperature on the Dead Sea

The air temperature on the Dead Sea, like in Israel is quite hot. All year long, dry air keeps, and the sky is cloudless and sunny. In summer, the average air temperature is 30-30 ° C, and in the winter 20-24 ° C.

• In the winter and spring period, the air temperature in the Dead Sea is kept at + 25 ° C, in rare cases drops to + 10 ° C.
• In summer the weather is hot, the average air temperature is + 35-39 ° C, and the sea water + 35 ° C. But the weather and fans of the Dead Sea healing force do not frighten this weather. As on the resort shore all conditions for a pleasant stay are created.

In the area of the Dead Sea, a fairly weak ultraviolet radiation. Atmospheric pressure is 800-810 mm Hg, in air high oxygen content. Humidity is quite low, in the summer months 27%, and in the cold season 38%. The wettest and the months rich in precipitation are January and February, during this period about 9-10 mm of precipitation falls. From May to September - 0 mm, an average of a year falls less than 50 mm of precipitation.

The air temperature on the Dead Sea, like the weather is cyclical. In December, the air temperature is +20, in January +21, and in February +19. In the spring months, the air temperature is higher: in March, +21, in April +28, and in May +30. In summer the weather is warmest: June +33, July +35, August +39. In autumn the air temperature is still dry, but it gets colder: September +30, October +30, November +28.

Temperature of the Dead Sea by months

The temperature of the Dead Sea by months gives an opportunity to those who wish to relax on the healing shore to choose the ideal time for rest. The weather in Israel is rather dry and sultry, so you can rest on the Dead Sea all year round.

Let's consider a temperature mode on months:

Weather by months on the Dead Sea	Temperature during the day	Temperature at night	Water temperature	Precipitation mm
January	+ 19-20 ° C	16 ° C	20	10
February	+ 20-22 ° C	18 ° C	18	8
March	+ 23-25 ° C	21 ° C	20	7th
