Historical Geography - Number Four

This information comes from Geography of the Bible by Denis Baly in 1957. This chapter was great just like all the chapters. It was also already very concise, and short enough it was just easier to post the chapter. Just remember the information about temperature, humidity, and precipitation is from, at least, the 1957 time period. I am not sure if they use Celsius or Fahrenheit in Israel and other near by countries, but as Americans we should be familiar with both.

Seasons in Israel
Summer - June through September
Winter - January, February, and March
Rainy Season – mid October to mid May
April must be an intersession type of season in Israel
