This past week, coinciding with the Sukkot holiday, saw widespread rainfall across Israel, from the northern regions down to the Ashkelon area. While weekend showers were localized and brief, they occasionally brought heavy downpours, with significant amounts accumulating at some weather stations. No rain is expected in the coming two days, but a southern weather system is forecast to affect Israel starting Tuesday, potentially bringing rain to the Negev and Arava desert regions.
The Israel Meteorological Service reported intense, short bursts of rain, including 17 mm in Me'ilya in the Galilee within just 10 minutes, 13 mm in Kibbutz Dafna in the Upper Galilee, and 9 mm in Majdal Shams in the northern Golan Heights. Karmiel and Acre recorded 6 mm. Heavy rain also reached the southern coast on Friday night, with Ashkelon receiving 7 mm in a few minutes.
The Meteorological Service noted that a major rain system in the central Mediterranean, which sent cooler air into the region, caused a significant storm on the island of Crete. There, 360 mm of rain fell, leading to extensive infrastructure damage and casualties.
