Climate
Israel's total area, including Judea and Samaria, is 27,800 sq. km. (10,800 sq. miles). It is comparable to the size of New Jersey or England (excluding Wales). In this small country, however, the climatic differences are amazing. In general, Israel's climate is considered "temperate." Yet, during much of the winter you can ski in the far north or swim outdoors and trek through desert-like areas in the south. There are mainly two seasons, winter and summer. Usually, winter means cold rains, which begin in late October or early November and last until April. The rainiest period is the three months between December and February. It rains most in the northern hills and mountains of the Galilee. The driest parts of the country all year round are the southern Negev and Arava, between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Eilat. 
Because Israel is located in the Middle-East, many people think it is warm there all the time. Not true. Winters can be quite cold, the kind of wet cold that chills your bones. Even during the summer, when it is usually very hot during the day, the evenings often turn quite cool and a jacket or sweater is recommended in the hilly regions, such as Jerusalem or Safed. Don't be caught off guard! If you're coming in the winter, bring an umbrella, a warm coat (down is not necessary, but it wouldn't hurt) and a few sweaters. During the summer, shorts, skirts, sandals (or sneakers) and t-shirts for daytime dress are about right.
