Temperatures are expected to drop across Israel starting Saturday, with a noticeable decrease in the coastal plain, the lowlands, and the northern Negev. Despite this cooling trend, conditions will remain warmer than average for the season in most parts of the country. Winds will strengthen along the coast in the afternoon, and dust or fog may reduce visibility in the Negev overnight.
Sunday will bring a further temperature decline, bringing readings closer to seasonal averages and easing heat stress. However, this relief will be short-lived, as temperatures are forecast to rise again on Monday, becoming higher than average, particularly in the mountains and inland areas.
Tuesday, the day of the 26th Knesset elections, is set to see a significant weather shift. Temperatures will fall, and local rain is expected across most of the country. By the afternoon, the rain will intensify, especially in the south, with the possibility of thunderstorms. Flash floods are anticipated in the southern Negev's riverbeds, the Arava region, and near the Dead Sea.
