Traveller notes on Jericho in October
Notes from nearby Jerusalem (25 km away)
Jericho doesn't have its own notes for October yet — these are about Jerusalem, close enough to share the season.
Jerusalem's October threads describe warm days and genuinely cool evenings — highs near 27°C dropping to about 16 overnight — and the forum is insistent that Jerusalem gets far chillier after dark than Tel Aviv, so a sweater or fleece belongs in the bag even in a warm month. Rain is possible but unlikely: a day or two at most across the month. The real complication isn't the weather but the calendar — Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot often fall in October, bringing premium pricing and crowds, and Yom Kippur shuts the country down entirely.
