Jerusalem has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and cool, rainy winters. The live forecast above shows current conditions; daytime highs in summer often exceed 30°C, while winter highs average around 12–15°C. Nights can be chilly year-round due to the city’s elevation of about 750 metres.
What is the best time to visit Jerusalem?
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) offer the most comfortable weather. Daytime temperatures range from 18–25°C, with lower humidity and little rain. Summer (June–August) is very hot and dry, with July and August highs often above 32°C. Winter (December–February) brings the bulk of rainfall and occasional cold snaps, but snow is rare.
How does Jerusalem weather compare to Tel Aviv?
Tel Aviv weather is warmer and more humid because it sits on the coast. Jerusalem’s higher elevation makes it cooler, especially at night. While Tel Aviv receives about 500 mm of rain annually, Jerusalem gets around 550 mm, mostly between November and March. For current conditions in Tel Aviv, check local forecasts.
Does it snow in Jerusalem?
Snowfall is infrequent – most winters see one or two light dustings, if any. Heavy snow events, like the 2013 blizzard, are rare but can disrupt travel. The live forecast above will show any chance of snow.
What is the humidity like in Jerusalem?
Humidity is low in summer (around 40–50%) and higher in winter (60–70%). The dry air makes summer heat more tolerable than in coastal areas like Tel Aviv. Evenings cool off quickly.
