Météo à Jérusalem en février

Regulars describe near-perfect weather most days this month, hot but the city's 800-metre elevation keeps the dry-climate heat from feeling as oppressive as the temperature alone might suggest, with rain essentially a non-issue. Our row backs both halves, 30.2C reading as a hot 31C, over 20.1C nights, with rain nearly absent, 1.7mm across under a day, and humidity down to 61 percent. Regulars are honest this still runs genuinely hot for anyone with lower heat tolerance, but the long, warm days and reliably dry skies are called a real draw rather than a compromise. The record: 11.2 hours of sun, a 14.8 kph wind and AQI 54.

At 800 metres the heat here is dry rather than oppressive, and regulars call June bearable compared with what August brings. Our row backs the dryness precisely - 29.8C reading as 31C at 52.8 percent humidity, roughly half the humidity a coastal city would carry at the same temperature - and the evening cool they describe: one visitor put on long sleeves for dinner after finding the evening surprisingly cool for what had been a hot day. Our night reads 19.1C, warmer than their impression, though the swing from a 30C afternoon still catches people out. Rain has essentially stopped, 2mm across less than a day. The record: a dew point of 10.3C, 13 hours of sun, a 16.9 kph wind and AQI 65.

Regulars set expectations for a week here rather than a month: perhaps one properly wet day, a few showers, and three or four dry ones - far more sun than rain, and never for long when it comes. Our 39.5mm across 6.9 days is that arithmetic scaled up, a little over one wet day a week. On temperature they warn that this city is in the hills and cools sharply after dark; our row reads 20.7C by day and 13.5C at night, feeling 19C and 12C. Layering is their word for it - more in the morning, less by noon, more again in the evening - with a light rain jacket rather than a winter coat. The record: humidity 64 percent, 9 hours of sun and AQI 62.

A Jerusalem-forum thread on May evenings gets specific about the city's one weather quirk: the elevation. Days run warm and reliably sunny with precipitation 'very unlikely' by this point in spring, but posters are consistent that evenings cool off more than visitors expect, enough that a jacket or sweater earns its space in the bag even after a warm afternoon. The record confirms both halves: 27.5C days feeling like 28C, 16.8C nights, just 2.2 precipitation days and 12.6 hours of sun - one of the driest, sunniest stretches on the calendar, with humidity a low 50 percent that keeps the heat from feeling heavier than it is.
