The Israel Meteorological Service has issued a warning for stormy weather expected to continue into Sunday, with a significant risk of flash floods in two specific regions. Heavy rains are forecast to begin in the southern Negev and Arava desert regions on Sunday morning. By the afternoon, these rains are expected to intensify along the Arava and in the Dead Sea area, leading to a heightened risk of flash floods throughout the day and into the night.
Earlier on Saturday, rains fell across southern Israel, from Eilat to the central Arava, though they did not reach exceptional levels. Data from the Meteorological Service indicated approximately 4.5 mm of rain in Lotan, around 4 mm in Kibbutz Eilot, and 3.7 mm in Eilat.
Looking ahead, a new weather system is anticipated to arrive in Israel towards the end of next week, this time affecting the northern and central parts of the country. Further details regarding this upcoming system will be released closer to the weekend.
