Brief Temperature Drop Gives Way to Rising Heat Across Israel

Israel is set for a brief respite from the heat this week, with a slight drop in temperatures and a chance of local drizzle in the north and center on Sunday. However, this cooling trend is expected to be short-lived.

Starting Monday, temperatures will begin to climb, exceeding seasonal averages. This warming trend will intensify on Tuesday, particularly in mountainous and inland areas, bringing heavy heatwaves across most of the country throughout the day. The weather will be partly cloudy to clear.

Sunday will see partly cloudy skies with a minor temperature decrease, especially in the mountains and inland. Light rain is possible in the morning in northern and central regions, offering some relief. By Monday, the weather will shift to partly cloudy to clear, with temperatures rising slightly, particularly in the mountains and inland, and becoming a bit higher than usual for this time of year. Heat stress will increase across most of the country.

On Tuesday, the partly cloudy to clear conditions will persist. Temperatures are forecast to rise again, especially in the mountains and inland, remaining above seasonal norms nationwide. The heavy heatwaves are expected to continue with no significant change.
