Eriha hava durumu: Haziran

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.

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.
