Israel is bracing for a significant weather system that will bring rain, thunderstorms, and a drop in temperatures starting Monday and peaking on election day, Tuesday. The forecast predicts the rain will begin in the south on Monday afternoon and gradually spread northwards. On Tuesday, temperatures will fall, and rainfall will intensify, particularly in the south and east, with a risk of thunderstorms, hail, and strong winds. The rain is expected to reach central Israel and the Judean Mountains later in the day. Authorities are warning of potential flash floods in southern and eastern areas, which could lead to road closures.

The cooler, rainy weather will continue into Wednesday, with temperatures remaining below seasonal averages. Localized rain and thunderstorms are still expected, especially in the south and east, where flood risks persist. The weather system is forecast to gradually weaken on Thursday, with partial clearing and only isolated rain showers in the morning. Temperatures will remain cool for the season.
