Temperatures to Drop, Bringing Seasonal Norms and Local Rains

Israel is expecting a mixed weather forecast for the coming week, with a drop in temperatures starting Saturday and continuing into Sunday, bringing conditions closer to seasonal averages. Saturday will see partly cloudy skies and a decrease in temperatures, particularly along the coastal plain, the Shefela region, and the northern Negev, though it will remain warmer than usual in most areas. Northern winds are expected to strengthen along the coast in the afternoon. On Sunday, the weather will remain partly cloudy with a further temperature decrease, aligning with seasonal norms and offering relief from heat discomfort. Monday is forecast to be partly cloudy to cloudy with mid-level and high clouds, accompanied by a rise in temperatures that will exceed seasonal averages, especially in mountainous and inland areas. Tuesday will feature partly cloudy to cloudy skies with mid-level and high clouds. Temperatures will drop back to seasonal levels, with light, localized rain expected across most of the country. The rain is predicted to intensify in the south by the afternoon, potentially including thunderstorms and a risk of flash floods in the southern Negev's wadis, the Arava, and the Dead Sea region. Highs on Tuesday are forecast to be 34°C in Kiryat Shmona and Tiberias, 27°C in Haifa and Jerusalem, 27°C in Tel Aviv, 28°C in Ashdod, 29°C in Be'er Sheva, and 34°C in Eilat.
