Haifa enjoys a Mediterranean climate characterized by remarkably stable conditions throughout the year. The city experiences a distinctive dry climate with zero recorded rainfall across all months, making it an exceptionally arid destination. Temperatures follow a classic Mediterranean pattern, with mild winters (64-67°F highs) and warm summers (85-88°F highs), while humidity remains consistently at 70% year-round. The temperature gradually rises from the cool winter months through spring, peaks during the hot summer period from June to August, then gradually decreases through autumn back to winter lows. This predictable, dry climate makes Haifa suitable for year-round visits, with the main consideration being temperature preferences rather than rainfall concerns.
