The Israel Meteorological Service issued two urgent warnings on Thursday morning. The first alerts the public to dangerous sea conditions along the Mediterranean coast, with waves reaching 70 to 110 centimeters, posing risks of drowning, strong currents, and whirlpools. The warning is in effect until 10:00 AM, and the public is advised to swim only at supervised beaches, away from piers and breakwaters. The second warning, effective from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM, forecasts extreme heat in eastern regions including the Beit She'an Valley, Kinneret Basin, Jordan Valley, southern Judean Desert, and the Dead Sea area. This heat poses risks of dehydration and heatstroke, particularly for the elderly, those with chronic illnesses, and individuals working outdoors. Residents in these areas are advised to drink plenty of water, stay in air-conditioned spaces during peak heat, wear light clothing and hats, and never leave children or pets in cars. Authorities also recommend checking on vulnerable individuals. Temporary power outages are possible in the affected hot regions.
