General Considerations

• 1). Plan your trip for spring or fall if possible; they're the most pleasant seasons in Jerusalem. Summers are hot and dry, and winters tend to be cool and rainy. The average July high is 87 degrees F; the average January low is 41 degrees F.
  
  
• 2). Check up on festivals, attractions and live performances. Also visit your local library for more information about the city.
  
  
• 3). Take care of your flight, transportation and accommodations.
  
  
• 4). Check the weather forecast shortly before leaving.
