As we move into the third week of March 2025, Jerusalem is gearing up for a weather shift. The forecast for the next three days indicates a mix of cool temperatures, light precipitation, and fluctuating winds, making it essential for residents and visitors to prepare accordingly.

Thursday, March 20, 2025: The day kicks off with temperatures starting around 10°C (49°F) and a high of 11°C (52°F) expected in the afternoon. While the sun will rise at 5:43 AM and set at 5:51 PM, the day is characterized by overcast skies and a high chance of patchy rain, particularly in the morning hours. With a UV index of 1, sunscreen won’t be a necessity. However, winds will be quite brisk, reaching up to 46 km/h (29 mph) from the west, which may enhance the wind chill factor. As the chance of rain peaks at around 100% by midday, it’s advisable for those out and about to carry an umbrella or a raincoat.

Friday, March 21, 2025: The weather takes a slight dive, with temperatures dropping to a high of just 9°C (48°F) and beginning the day at around 6°C (43°F). The conditions remain overcast, with a continued possibility of light rain and sleet, particularly in the early morning and late afternoon. Visibility may decrease due to the wet conditions, warranting caution for commuters. The forecast suggests that wind speeds will reduce somewhat to about 30 km/h (19 mph), but humidity levels will remain high, around 84%, contributing to a chilly feel throughout the day.

Saturday, March 22, 2025: Residents can expect a slight rebound as temperatures stabilize back up to 11°C (53°F) by the afternoon, with a morning low of 6°C (42°F). The day starts on a more optimistic note with opportunities for sunshine peeking through the clouds, particularly around midday when the cloud cover will lessen to around 23%.
