Many Israelis observed high-altitude clouds covering the sky on Monday evening. These clouds, known as cirrus or feather clouds, are composed of ice crystals due to their altitude. When the sun sets, light rays striking these ice particles scatter, producing spectacular sunsets, or similarly vibrant sunrises in the morning. This phenomenon is expected to be visible frequently in the coming period. The article also briefly mentions weather forecasts for 2027 predicting less rain than expected, with the main weather system remaining at sea, and a note that extreme weather is becoming the norm.
