A significant shift in weather is expected across Israel starting today, bringing cooler temperatures, stronger winds, and localized rain, particularly in the north and center. This winter system is forecast to continue through the weekend, with a possibility of thunderstorms in some areas.
Today, temperatures will drop to slightly below the seasonal average after a period of warmer weather. Localized showers are anticipated by midday, mainly in northern Israel and along the coastal plain. Dust is possible in the center and south due to strengthening winds. The Mediterranean Sea will experience rough conditions with waves ranging from 0.6 to 2.6 meters. Overnight, skies will be partly to fully cloudy, with rain resuming in the north and along the coast by early morning.
Friday will see a further temperature decrease, making it colder than usual for this time of year across most of the country. Localized rain is expected in the north and center, and isolated thunderstorms may develop. Skies will be partly to fully cloudy, creating a distinctly autumnal feel.
On Saturday, the rain is expected to weaken but the cooler weather will persist. Localized showers may still occur, primarily in the north and along the coast, but their intensity and frequency will gradually decrease. Temperatures will remain below average, especially in mountainous and inland regions.
Looking ahead to Sunday, a slight warming trend is predicted, though the weather will remain cooler than usual for the season. Light, localized rain is still possible along the coast in the afternoon.
