Weather in Jerusalem in February
February in Jerusalem is cool outdoor weather: usable if you dress for it, not a beach brief.
In Israel, this is how Jerusalem actually wears February, not how a country centroid would. Compared with August and January, February sits in the middle of Jerusalem's year.

What to expect
Daytime
Cool days in Jerusalem: a jumper you can take off, a shell in the bag. Walking is fine. Lingering outside without a layer is optimism.
Mornings and evenings are colder than the postcard. Pack for both, especially if you leave the built-up centre.
Rain
February is a wetter month in Jerusalem. Showers are part of the deal, not a spoiled surprise.
Waterproof shoes matter more than a rain plan for a beach, especially if a beach is not why you came. Build indoor hours into the afternoon.
Evening
Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.
What to pack
