Israel Snapshot

Israel generally has a Mediterranean climate, with the summer months providing loads of sunshine and scorching temperatures that can reach 40ºC. June to August usually sees the highest temperatures, with milder weather prevailing during autumn (September and October) and spring (April and May). Winter (around November to March) provides cooler temperatures and light rain. Snow fall can sometimes occur in the highlands and even in Jerusalem. It's important to note that travel will be affected during religious holidays, with the majority of shops, businesses and public transport shutting down for major Jewish holidays. Israel offers a range of things to do in any weather, from skiing in the highlands to enjoying the sun near the Red Sea, so no matter what time you choose to go, it's a great place to travel all year round.
