Abstract
The first series of climatological measurements at Lake Kinneret were made at the Scottish Mission Hospital in Tiberias on the shores of the lake (32° 48′N, 35° 32′E, -205 m MSL) from 1890 to 1911. They were followed in 1910 by a series of measurements at the German Templar colony of Tabgha on the northern shore (32° 52′N, 35° 32′E, -200 m MSL) which continued until 1916. In the same decade, rainfall measurements were started in the Jewish agricultural settlements of Kinneret (32°43′N, 35° 34′E, -170 m MSL) and Migdal (32° 49′N, 35° 34′E, -206 m MSL).
