What to expect
Daytime
Hot days in Jerusalem. Ruins, markets and hills are a morning job. Midday sightseeing is how people remember September for the wrong reason.
Nights stay warm. Air-con, if you can get it, is part of the brief. A jumper for September in Jerusalem is almost always a waste of bag space.
Rain
Rain is not the story in Jerusalem in September. Pack for sun. A shower would be news, not a plan.
Do not build the trip around weather windows. Build it around shade if it is hot, and around getting outside if it is not.
Evening
Evenings stay warm.
What to pack
