Israel is set to experience a temporary shift towards autumn weather this coming weekend, with cooler temperatures, cloudiness, and scattered showers expected in the northern and central regions. This change comes after a period of temperatures above the seasonal norm. The rain is forecast to begin Thursday night in the north and along the coastal plain, with Jerusalem experiencing highs of 16-22 degrees Celsius and Tel Aviv reaching around 27 degrees. On Friday, temperatures will drop slightly, and the rain will extend to central areas. Saturday will continue the autumnal pattern with variable clouds and local rain in the north and along the coast. The Mediterranean Sea is expected to be rough, with waves reaching up to 1.5 meters in Tel Aviv on Friday and 1.2 meters on Saturday. However, this cooler, wetter spell will be short-lived. By Sunday, the rain is predicted to cease, temperatures will rise slightly, and conditions will stabilize. Monday and Tuesday are expected to be relatively comfortable with no significant precipitation. Looking ahead, the Israeli Meteorological Service forecasts that November through January will likely see temperatures 0.5-1 degree Celsius above the long-term average for northern and central Israel. Conversely, total rainfall from October to January is expected to be above average, potentially reaching 110-120% of normal in the central regions and northern Negev. The service cautions that seasonal forecasts indicate general trends rather than precise predictions of when and where rain will fall.
