Israel's Meteorological Service has forecast significant weather shifts in the coming days, starting with an autumn heatwave over the weekend and transitioning to a "real winter turnaround" around election day and into the following week. On Friday, temperatures will rise, accompanied by dry conditions and easterly winds, reaching approximately 30 degrees Celsius in mountainous areas and even higher in the lowlands and valleys.
The main weather shift is expected mid-next week. According to the service's data, rain is anticipated to begin in the Eilat region and near the Egyptian border on Tuesday afternoon, election day. By election evening, precipitation is expected to spread to the Arava and eastern Negev, with a real possibility of flash floods in these areas. While this forecast is still some distance away and subject to change, the Meteorological Service indicated that the rain system is projected to expand to the central and northern regions by the following weekend.
