Following intense thunderstorms in southern Israel, meteorologists are forecasting a new wave of precipitation that could affect other regions of the country. Israel has experienced unusual weather patterns, with rain falling for a second consecutive day in the south. Dry riverbeds in the Eilat Mountains have revived, and powerful lightning strikes were observed near Ramon Airport. Forecasters warn that these current showers may signal a more significant shift in weather, with substantial rainfall expected in some areas by the end of the week.
According to Ynet, citing the Israel Meteorological Service, precipitation returned to the southern Negev and Arava on Sunday, October 11. The heaviest rains occurred in the afternoon, accompanied by thunderstorms. Ramon Airport recorded 7 millimeters of rain, with eyewitnesses capturing footage of lightning near aircraft. The Uziya mountain in the Eilat Mountains received 3.5 millimeters, enough to cause noticeable flows in some desert wadis, including the Gesheron stream. In Ha'Zova in the northern Arava, 2 millimeters fell, while Eilat itself received less than one millimeter.
The unstable weather is set to continue. Monday, October 12, is expected to bring variable cloudiness and a slight drop in temperature, with possible light, localized showers in the north and along the Mediterranean coast in the morning. The southern Negev and Arava may see continued rain in the afternoon. Tuesday, October 13, is forecast to be relatively stable with no significant temperature changes.
By Wednesday, October 14, a brief temperature increase is anticipated, but it will be short-lived. A cooling trend will begin on Thursday, October 15, with temperatures potentially dropping below the seasonal norm. Localized rain is possible again in the north and central regions. The most significant deterioration in weather conditions is expected towards Friday, October 16, when meteorologists predict substantial rainfall on the coastal plain. The precise intensity and distribution of these rains will depend on the developing weather system.
