Climate in Israel
Israel's
climate ranges from temperate to tropical, with plenty of sunshine. Two
distinct seasons predominate: a rainy winter period from November to May; and a
dry summer season which extends through the next six months.
Rainfall
is relatively heavy in the North and center of the country, with much less in
the Northern Negev and almost negligible amounts in the Southern areas.
Regional conditions vary considerably, with humid summers and mild winters on
the coast; dry summers and moderately cold winters in the hill regions, hot dry
summers and pleasant winters in the Jordan Valley; and year-round semi-desert
conditions in the Negev.
Weather
extremes range from occasional winter snowfall at higher elevations to periodic
oppressively hot dry winds which send temperatures soaring, particularly in
Spring and Autumn.
