อากาศเยรีโค เดือนพฤศจิกายน

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.

Forum posters describe October across Palestine and the West Bank generally as very good weather, not too hot, with only a small likelihood of rain - a genuinely favorable window for sightseeing and hiking. Posters are direct that while daytime warmth stays comfortable, it's likely already cooled past ideal swimming temperatures, and evenings can turn noticeably cooler, especially up in the West Bank hills. Given Jericho's low-elevation position near the Dead Sea, well below the cooler hill country, October here should run warmer than these broader regional descriptions suggest, consistent with Jericho's reputation as one of the hottest, driest spots in the area. Posters generally rate October as a comfortable time to visit the wider region, with Jericho itself likely staying on the warmer end of that comfortable range.

Forum posters are direct that Jericho runs notably hotter and drier than Jerusalem, commonly citing a gap of around 6C given Jericho's much lower elevation near the Dead Sea basin - a real factor for anyone combining both cities on the same trip. Posters describe conditions at outdoor sites like the archaeological digs as genuinely uncomfortable once the heat picks up, with at least 2 liters of water per person recommended even for a relatively short visit. Posters generally frame April as still on the cooler, more comfortable side of Jericho's year compared to the genuinely brutal summer heat that follows, making it a favored month for combining Jericho with a Jerusalem or Dead Sea itinerary before the harsher months set in.
