May weather forecast
West Bank

May signals the tail end of spring in the West Bank, with a palpable shift towards the warmer conditions of the approaching summer. Temperatures during this month typically fluctuate between 16°C (60.8°F) and 28°C (82.4°F). The gentle spring breeze starts to give way to the warmer winds, especially when one contrasts the conditions of May with the milder climate of April.

Precipitation in May dwindles significantly. Occasional drizzles might occur early in the month, but as the days progress, the likelihood of rain becomes increasingly rare. The landscape, having benefitted from the prior months' rains, now showcases a lush green ambiance, though this begins to wane as the month advances.

In regions with lower elevations, such as Jericho in the Jordan Valley, temperatures often lean towards the higher end, heralding the onset of the summer heat. The disparity in daytime temperatures between these warmer pockets and the elevated regions begins to widen, hinting at the more uniform warmth that summer brings.

In comparison with April, May exhibits a distinct warming trend with diminishing rainfall. The weather becomes progressively hotter, acting as a prelude to the intense heat typical of the West Bank's summer months.
