Weather Conditions in Israel
With its stunning views of mountains, gardens and historic as well as religious sites, Israel is a popular tourist destination for millions of people. But it’s also important to know the best time to visit Israel before making plans. Weather and other considerations are always important before one makes plans to visit any country. Here’s a look at which is the best time to go to Israel.
Most people consider July and August as the best season to go to Israel. This is however, the high season and you can expect warm, summer temperatures in places such as Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Places such as Eilat and Dead Sea can be very hot and uncomfortable. Do note that hotel prices can be quite high at this time. High season is also the time for various Jewish holidays such as Passover or Sukkot and you can expect scarcity of places to stay. For this reason, high season is often considered to be not the best time to visit Israel.
The months of September to November and March to June is considered the shoulder season and it can get a little rainy. However, it is the ideal time for hiking. The reason why so many people consider this the best time to go to Israel.
The winter months of December to February are considered as low season and for most people, it’s certainly not the best time to visit Israel. Weather can be quite chilly and cold although this is a good time to head to warmer places such as Eilat or the Dead Sea.
