Here you can view the typical wind conditions throughout the year in Maale Hachamisha, (Jerusalem District), Israel.
Wind speed in Maale Hachamisha varies across the year, ranging from 5 m/s (10 knots) to 8 m/s (16 knots).
The 5 m/s (10 knots) average during October, November and December creates a notably windy environment with regular air movement. Although some days may be calmer or windier, expect breezy conditions to be a consistent presence throughout the month. Major tree branches move steadily, and small debris is often carried by the wind.
Physical activities require working against noticeable wind resistance, making exercises like running or cycling more demanding. However, the conditions don’t reach uncomfortable levels. Converting to familiar units, this represents 18 km/h or 11 mph. Ideal for enthusiasts of wind-powered sports.
In contrast, wind speeds average 8 m/s (16 knots) during June, July and August. This means most days have very strong winds that make walking hard work and cause large trees to bend significantly. Small branches break off regularly. The measurement represents 28.8 km/h or 17.9 mph. There may still be stronger gusts or calmer moments, but powerful winds dominate.
