Forecasters are predicting significant weather shifts across Israel in the coming days. Following a rainy weekend, precipitation is expected to cease early next week, with a noticeable warming trend anticipated towards the end of the week. This warm spell, however, is forecast to be followed by another cooling period.
On Saturday, October 17, scattered showers and drizzle may persist in some areas, particularly in the north, along the Mediterranean coast, and in low-lying regions, with rainfall amounts up to 10 millimeters in the north and center, and around 2 millimeters in the south. The Mediterranean Sea will remain rough with high waves possible along the coast, though swimming advisories may be lifted gradually. Daytime temperatures will be moderate, with Jerusalem expected to reach around 22 degrees Celsius, dropping to 15 degrees at night.
By Sunday, October 18, the weather is set to stabilize with variable cloudiness and sunny spells. Temperatures will rise slightly, remaining comfortable. Jerusalem will see approximately 23 degrees Celsius during the day and 14 degrees at night. This pattern of partly cloudy skies and low precipitation probability will continue into Monday, October 19, with daytime temperatures around 23 degrees in mountainous areas and 15 degrees at night.
Tuesday, October 20, is expected to be mostly sunny with little cloud cover and no precipitation. Jerusalem's temperature will be around 22 degrees Celsius during the day and 14 degrees at night. Wednesday, October 21, will bring clear, sunny skies nationwide with minimal chance of rain, and daytime temperatures around 22 degrees in mountainous regions, cooling to 14 degrees at night.
A more significant temperature increase is forecast for Thursday, October 22, with clear, sunny weather persisting. Jerusalem will experience daytime temperatures around 25 degrees Celsius, rising from a mid-week high of approximately 22 degrees. This warming will peak on Friday, October 23, with temperatures potentially exceeding seasonal averages in some areas.
However, this warm period will be brief. A slight temperature drop is expected on Saturday, October 24, followed by more noticeable cooling on Sunday, October 25. Increased cloudiness and a higher probability of localized rain are also anticipated, signaling a return to more autumnal conditions.
Looking ahead to election day on October 27, detailed forecasts are unreliable this far out. However, a seasonal forecast for October 2026 to January 2027 suggests temperatures 0.5-1 degree above average, indicating generally comfortable autumn weather. Specific conditions on October 27 could range from sunny periods to brief cloud cover with localized showers, with more precise information to become available closer to the date.
