Forum posters describe April in this region as warm but not very hot, with rain unlikely by this point in spring, though evenings still call for a light jacket or sweater given the elevation of the Jerusalem-Bethlehem hill country. Posters note that by the end of April, the clocks have moved to summer time, giving longer, lighter evenings and extended visiting hours at many sites - a practical bonus alongside the comfortable temperatures.
