The Israel Meteorological Service has issued a yellow warning for the Mediterranean Sea due to high waves, ranging from 70 to 110 centimeters, making swimming dangerous. The service cautioned that these waves could lead to drowning risks, and swimmers might be swept from shallow areas into deeper water. Dangerous currents and whirlpools capable of pulling people away from the shore are also a possibility.
Beachgoers are strongly advised to monitor weather forecasts, heed warnings from specialists, and follow instructions from lifeguards and inspectors. Swimming should only occur in designated safe areas, and caution is urged near breakwaters due to strong currents.
Temperature forecasts for Thursday include Jerusalem at 26°C, Tel Aviv at 28°C, Katzrin at 32°C, Beit She'an at 35°C, Haifa at 27°C, Beersheba at 29°C, Mitzpe Ramon at 26°C, and Eilat at 33°C. The warming trend is expected to continue through the weekend. Friday will see little change, but Saturday will bring a slight temperature increase, particularly in mountainous and inland areas, exceeding seasonal averages. Localized, weak showers are possible in the southern Negev and Arava regions on Saturday afternoon.
