Temperatures are expected to drop across Israel on Sunday, bringing a relative respite from the recent heatwave. Partially cloudy skies will prevail, with conditions becoming more comfortable and temperatures approaching seasonal averages in most areas. However, a significant weather shift is forecast for later in the week.
While northern regions like the Galilee and Golan Heights will experience partly cloudy and comfortable weather, the Jordan Valley and Sea of Galilee area may remain warm in the afternoons. Coastal cities like Haifa and Tel Aviv, along with the Sharon and Shefela regions, will see cooler temperatures and light to moderate winds. Jerusalem and the central mountains will feel relief from the heat, particularly in the mornings and evenings. The Negev and Beersheba will be fair with lower temperatures, though localized heat stress may persist in the Dead Sea and Arava regions. Eilat is expected to be sunny and warm, reaching up to 33 degrees Celsius.
Sea conditions in the Mediterranean will be moderate to rough, with waves between 40-100 centimeters and winds of 10-30 km/h along the coast. Sea temperatures will be around 26-27 degrees Celsius.
The forecast indicates a warming trend on Monday, with potential for localized rain at night. A significant concern arises on Tuesday, with heavy rains, thunderstorms, lightning, and hail anticipated in southern and eastern Israel. This raises a serious risk of flash floods in the Negev, Arava, and Dead Sea wadis, potentially causing road closures. On Wednesday, rains are expected to return to the south and spread to central Israel.
