It's hot!!  You can be mighty sure that you will not have rain..
The rainy season ends in April and usually doesnt begin until 
November...The cities on the Mediterannean coast (Tel-Aviv) tend
to be muggy, humid and sticky during the middle of the day.
Jerusalem is drier and the evenings can be cool.  The Negev
(Beersheva) is hot and dry..The coast of the Red Sea is hot and
dry..The hills Gallilee and Haifa a bit cooler, occasionally
breezes..

In general choose comfortable COTTON clothing for daytime..Synthetics
are sticky and uncomfortable..Have very good sunglasses...a must.
Also make sure you have headgear..A small white tennis hat with
a small brim is extremely useful. I used to wear a US navy sailor
hat with the brim down...Comfortable footgear...The Israeli leather
sandal is extremely well made and very good for walking on uneven
ground...

And the best advice for  being comfortable is to eat the Israeli
diet rather that an American one while there.  Drink lots of
liquid during the day, either juices or hot tea...

And have fun..it's a beautiful country..
