Israel Braces for Heatwave Ahead of Holiday
Israel is set to experience temperatures significantly higher than average as a heatwave is forecast to begin on Thursday, coinciding with the start of the Passover holiday. The unseasonably warm weather is expected to persist through the weekend.
Forecasters predict that the mercury will rise across the country, with particularly intense heat in the coastal plain and inland areas. Residents are advised to take precautions against the heat, including staying hydrated and avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun, especially during the peak hours of the day.
The Passover holiday, a major Jewish festival commemorating the exodus from ancient Egypt, begins on Friday evening and lasts for eight days. The anticipated heatwave could impact outdoor holiday activities and travel plans for many Israelis.
