Israel is experiencing an unseasonable heatwave, with temperatures expected to peak on Friday, October 23rd, before gradually cooling down over the weekend. Following a week that began with cold, rainy weather, Friday will see clear skies and rising temperatures, leading to hot conditions, including хамсин (a hot, dry wind), in most parts of the country. Strong easterly winds are forecast for the northern and central mountains in the morning, with moderate to strong northerly winds along the coastal plain in the afternoon.
Saturday will bring partly cloudy skies and a drop in temperature, particularly along the coast, in the Shfela region, and in the northern Negev. However, temperatures will remain higher than average for this time of year in most areas. Northerly winds will continue along the coast in the afternoon.
By Sunday, cloud cover will persist, and temperatures will decrease further, returning to seasonal norms across most of the country. The intensity of the heat is also expected to lessen.
Authorities have issued a yellow warning for dangerous sea conditions, with waves expected to reach 80 to 120 centimeters and potentially increase. A preliminary yellow warning for high heat load has also been issued for several areas, including the Beit She'an Valley, the Kinneret area, northern Sharon, Gush Dan, the Jordan Valley, the Judean Desert (north and south), the Dead Sea area, and northern Arava.
