Traveling to any country involves knowing what kind of clothes you need to bring; i.e., what is most appropriate for the local weather. Here we will discuss the types of clothing that best suits the weather of Palestine in all its different seasons.
The location of Palestine, situated on the eastern Mediterranean coastline, and adjacent to the Sinai Peninsula and the Jordanian desert, plays an important role in the weather of Palestine. Its position is directly responsible for the enjoyable moderate and mild climate of Palestine.
Winter in Palestine spans about three months duration, and the temperature sometimes does fall to zero; however, it does not usually snow in Palestine, having done so only twice in the last several years. During these months, Palestine usually gets about 7 hours of sunshine per day.
Hot summer in Palestine
Summers in Palestine are hot, with July and August being the hottest months in Palestine. The Temperatures may reach 30 degrees celsius (86 fahrenheit), and even higher on some days. Although the summer is hot, the evenings are cool; a sweater or light jacket may be comfortable for evenings. It is common and popular to go out during the evenings to enjoy the more mild temperatures after a hot day.
Every year during April, May, and to the middle of June, Palestine faces hot, dry, sandy and dusty khamseen winds that originate in the Arabian Desert, and during this time from spring to summer, Palestine experiences about 13 hours of daylight a day.
The climate during the remainder of the year is mild and moderate. Rainfall in Palestine is very limited, with the rainiest months occurring from November to February.
So, what clothes should you bring?
If you are traveling to Palestine during the summer, we recommend that you wear light clothes and have a light jacket or sweater for the evening. If you visit Palestine during the winter, warm clothes are required both outdoors and indoors since heating systems are not widely used in Palestine.
