Climate Chart of Jerusalem, Israel

Climate overview

Temperature

January has the lowest monthly mean temperature, at 8.5 °C, while August has the highest, at 25.2 °C. These are monthly means, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they indicate the broad contrast between the coolest and warmest monthly averages rather than the range visitors will experience during individual days. The unweighted mean across the calendar-month means is 17.7 °C. It summarizes the set of monthly averages, but is not a day-weighted annual average and cannot show how much temperatures may vary within a month.

Rain

January has the highest mean daily rainfall, at 1.84 mm/day, whereas July has the lowest, at 0.00 mm/day. These daily means are not monthly totals, and the lowest figure does not establish that every day in that month is dry or quantify how often rain occurs. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean daily rainfall is 0.71 mm/day. This offers a broad summary, not a day-by-day forecast or a measure of the likelihood of rain on a particular date.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine reaches its highest monthly value in June, at 12.97 hours/day, and its lowest in December, at 8.16 hours/day. These figures can help with broad planning for outdoor time, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and does not guarantee clear skies on a given day. The unweighted mean of the calendar-month sunshine means is 10.61 hours/day per day. It summarizes the monthly averages rather than predicting the sunshine a visitor will receive during a specific stay.

Snow

The highest monthly mean daily snowfall is recorded in March, at 0.14 mm/day; the unweighted mean across calendar-month means is 0.03 mm/day. These are mean daily amounts, not monthly totals, and they do not establish how many days have snowfall, snow depth, snow cover or skiing conditions.
