Arabiaweather.com - The climate of Palestine is considered mostly Mediterranean in general, and moves towards the desert climate in the south. But in general, the Mediterranean marine influences prevail most of the days, while the desert influences prevail sometimes and at intervals, especially in the transitional seasons. Continental influences, "northeast winds" prevail in some winter seasons, in varying proportions. But what are the coldest areas of Palestine? What are the hottest areas? In fact, the coldest regions of the country are the heights of the Upper Galilee, in which the highest peaks of the country are located, which is the summit of Jabal Al-Jarmaq, which rises 1208 meters above sea level. The city of Safed, "the capital of the Upper Galilee," is considered one of the coldest cities in the country, with an altitude ranging between 600 and 820 meters above sea level. The temperature ranges in January in winter between 4 degrees Celsius (lowest) and 10 degrees Celsius (highest), while in August it reaches 18 degrees Celsius (lowest) and 29 degrees Celsius (highest). Snow falls almost every year and it receives about 728 mm of precipitation annually. As for the hottest regions of the country, it is of course in the Dead Sea region, which is considered the lowest region in the world above sea level. The temperatures decrease in the Jordan Valley in the direction from the south towards the north due to the gradual increase in the height above sea level.
