As Israelis prepare to celebrate the Sukkot holiday, the Israel Meteorological Service has issued a stark warning regarding extreme heat in specific regions, alongside forecasts for generally mild weather elsewhere. A rare 'red alert' has been declared for the Jordan Valley due to anticipated extreme heat, with 'orange alerts' in place for the Dead Sea, Arava, and the Valleys.
For Thursday, the weather is expected to be partly cloudy with temperatures typical for the season. Overnight, conditions will remain partly cloudy to cloudy, with a chance of light, localized drizzle mainly along the southern coastal plain towards dawn.
Friday, the eve of Sukkot, will see partly cloudy to clear skies. Light, localized rain is possible in the morning, particularly along the southern coast. Temperatures are not expected to change significantly.
On Saturday, the first day of Sukkot, the weather will be partly cloudy to fair, with a slight drop in temperatures. The forecast indicates a pleasant, autumnal feel for many parts of the country, contrasting with the severe heat warnings for the specified eastern and southern areas.
