Israel's Meteorological Service has issued a warning of an approaching autumn heatwave, with temperatures expected to rise gradually starting Thursday and peaking on Friday and Saturday. Temperatures will be significantly higher than average for this season. In the Jordan Valley, highs could reach 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 Fahrenheit), while the coastal plain and hills will see temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit). The Shefela region is forecast to experience 35-37 degrees Celsius (95-98.6 Fahrenheit).
The heatwave is predicted to be accompanied by considerable dryness and strong easterly winds, with gusts potentially reaching 40-50 kilometers per hour, particularly on Friday morning. Dust and reduced visibility are expected on Thursday due to strengthening winds. The Meteorological Service indicated that these weather conditions are likely to persist for the coming days.
No rainfall is anticipated in the coming week, with a potential shift in weather patterns not expected until late October or early November. The European ECMWF weather model also indicates concentrations of dust particles for Thursday, correlating with the expected strong winds and dust.
