As autumn officially arrives in Israel, the weather is set to become more volatile, with the Meteorological Service issuing a yellow warning for high and dangerous seas along the Mediterranean coast. Significant wave heights are expected to reach between 70 and 110 centimeters, posing risks of drowning due to strong currents, undertows, and the potential for being swept out to sea. Authorities are urging the public to heed warnings from lifeguards and signage, swim only in designated areas, and avoid swimming near breakwaters.
Following a recent cool spell, temperatures will see a slight increase on Thursday, returning to seasonal norms in most regions. Strong northerly winds are anticipated along the coastal plain from the afternoon onwards. The warming trend is expected to continue through the weekend, with temperatures remaining largely unchanged on Friday but rising slightly on Saturday, particularly in the mountains and inland areas, becoming somewhat higher than usual for this time of year.
Localized, mostly light, rainfall is also possible from Saturday afternoon, primarily in the southern Negev and the Arava desert region. The article provides a list of forecast high and low temperatures for various cities across Israel, including Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Beersheba, Eilat, and others.
