Israel Braces for Heatwave with Above-Average Temperatures

Israel is experiencing a heatwave with temperatures significantly higher than usual for this time of year. On Tuesday, the morning will be partly cloudy, clearing later in the day. A slight rise in temperatures is expected, particularly in mountainous and inland areas, leading to moderate to extreme heat stress across most regions. The night will be clear to partly cloudy, with fog possible in the northern Negev. Wednesday will see a slight drop in temperatures, though they will remain slightly above average. Further cooling is forecast for Thursday, especially in the mountains and inland, bringing temperatures back to seasonal norms in most parts of the country and easing the heat stress.
