Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Israel is set to experience unusually hot weather in the coming days, with a significant rise in temperatures, heatwave conditions, and dust across all regions. On Thursday, the weather will be clear to partly cloudy with high-altitude clouds. Temperatures will increase, and humidity will decrease, particularly in the mountains and inland areas, making it hotter than usual for this time of year. Strong northerly winds are expected along the coastal plain from the afternoon, with possible dust in the southern part of the country.

Friday will be mostly clear, with a further temperature increase, leading to hot to heatwave conditions in most parts of the country and a noticeable rise in heat load. Strong easterly winds will blow in the north and central mountains in the morning, shifting to strong northerly winds along the coastal plain in the afternoon.

Saturday will be partly cloudy, with temperatures dropping, especially along the coast, the Shefela region, and the northern Negev. However, it will remain hotter than average in most areas. By Sunday, the weather will be partly cloudy, with temperatures falling further to seasonal norms, bringing relief from the heat load.
