Jerusalem weather in the winter is a bit less predictable than in the summer.

The wet season starts in November and goes through April.

Because Israel's water supply is so dependent on rainfall, Israelis hope, pray, beg the Heavens for winter rains.

A particularly torrential rain is know as "rains of blessing" in Hebrew, so you won't hear anyone grumble about a rainy day here - not even little children.

Most years, it doesn't rain nearly enough, though, so you can count on a good number of mild, sunny days in the winter, too. Nevertheless, make sure you bring waterproof boots and coats. Try to get a raincoat with a hood. It can be so windy when it rains that umbrellas are useless.

November through December are usually fairly mild.

January and February are the coldest months of the year and every few years Jerusalem is treated to a spectacular snowfall that turns the city into a still, fairy wonderland.

Average temperature in January: 6 to 12C (43-55F)

Average number of rain days in Jerusalem: 44

Average annual rainfall: 553mm/22 inches
