Light Showers End as Israel Warms Ahead of Yom Kippur

Light showers are expected to continue in northern Israel and along the coastal plain on Saturday morning, accompanied by unseasonably cool temperatures. This follows a day of rain in many parts of the north and center, with the heaviest amounts recorded in the Galilee region. The highest rainfall totals included 17 mm in Bar'am in the Upper Galilee, 11 mm in Elon in the Western Galilee and Ayelet Hashahar in the Hula Valley, and 10 mm in Al-Rom in the northern Golan Heights. Most other stations recorded single-digit rainfall amounts, with less than 1 mm falling in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

Temperatures are not expected to change significantly on Saturday. However, a slight warming trend will begin on Sunday, the eve of Yom Kippur, bringing temperatures closer to seasonal averages across most regions. On Monday, Yom Kippur itself, the morning will be partly cloudy, clearing to fair weather later in the day. A further slight increase in temperatures is anticipated, particularly in mountainous and inland areas.
