Extreme Heat Wave Hits Israel Before Temperatures Ease in July

Israel is experiencing an extreme heat wave with temperatures rising above seasonal averages, particularly in the mountainous regions and inland areas. According to the Meteorological Service, the week will start with a slight warming trend, making Monday, June 29, and Tuesday, June 30, hotter than usual for this time of year.

However, with the official start of July, temperatures are expected to return to normal seasonal levels. On Wednesday, July 1, the weather will be partly cloudy to clear, accompanied by a drop in temperatures that will ease the heat burden to average levels. This trend will continue through Thursday, July 2, with partly cloudy skies and typical summer heat.

By Friday, July 3, another slight temperature decrease is forecast, especially noticeable in the mountainous areas, making conditions relatively comfortable for the season. The overall outlook suggests a brief period of intense heat followed by a return to more moderate summer temperatures.
